I like my way better.
I want to beable to set the value to
gold
gold14karat

this would be looked up and the value computed. That
way you could have flucuation gold etc values.

if you add a valued_as then value should be ignored
completely.

etc.
(nuggets aren't pure gold, by current weight/value
ratio, and that makes sence as they're found just in
the wild).
