It should be possible to specify unit information on a questionnaire item in a single place. Since this extension contains a Coding, it can be used to contain both the computable unit code and a human-friendly display string. In the odd cases where the Questionnaire designer wishes to use a different display string, itemControl's "unit" can be used to override what is displayed, but we should not force even unit-bearing question to specify the unit in two different extensions.
