This function is intended for data frames / tibbles only and makes the specified columns explicit with the target units in the column name.
make_qty_units_explicit(df, ..., prefix = " [", suffix = "]")the data frame in which to make the units explicit
named arguments for the columns that should be made explicit and their units, e.g. salt_weight = "mg", salt_concentration = "M".
the prefix for the units
the suffix for the units
