I'm sorry, by I don't feel like adding 273 to every number I get just to
find the temperature of something. What I would do is give configuration
options to choose the default (Celsius/centigrade, Kelvin, or [shudder]
Fahrenheit) then, when you need to print or output a temperature, send it
off to a common converter function so you don't repeat core all over the
place.

Just my 0.02 Eurocents (what an ugly word).
