Millimeters conversion factor for current projects units.

No matter what units the current project uses, this function will always return the conversion factor to millimeters.
For example, if the current project uses inches, this function will return `(1/25.4)`. If the current project uses millimeters, this function will return `1`.
**Caution**: This function is only intended to be used when you absolutely MUST have different units in your code than the project settings. Otherwise, it is a bad pattern to use this function.
We merely provide these functions for convenience and readability, as `10 * mm()` is more readable that your intent is "I want 10 millimeters" than `10 * (1/25.4)`, if the project settings are in inches.

```js
mm() -> number
```

* `units`
