/**
 * A utility class to perform unit conversions between different measurement systems.
 *
 * <p>Currently, the class supports temperature conversions between several scales:
 * Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, Réaumur, Delisle, and Rankine.
 *
 * <h2>Example Usage</h2>
 * <pre>
 *   double result = UnitConversions.TEMPERATURE.convert("Celsius", "Fahrenheit", 100.0);
 *   // Output: 212.0 (Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion of 100°C)
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>This class makes use of an {@link UnitsConverter} that handles the conversion logic
 * based on predefined affine transformations. These transformations include scaling factors
 * and offsets for temperature conversions.
 *
 * <h2>Temperature Scales Supported</h2>
 * <ul>
 *   <li>Celsius</li>
 *   <li>Fahrenheit</li>
 *   <li>Kelvin</li>
 *   <li>Réaumur</li>
 *   <li>Delisle</li>
 *   <li>Rankine</li>
 * </ul>
