The docs don't specify a way to add a new conversion of this variety

In the new release (v0.2.0), c is now a unit, to permit converting mass into MeV/c^2, for example. c0 is still a quantity equal to the speed of light in vacuum, in units of m/s.

Could you post an example syntax?

Use either of:

julia> uconvert(u"meV/c^2", 1.0u"kg")
5.6095886500206866e38 c^-2 meV

julia> 1.0u"kg" |> u"meV/c^2"
5.6095886500206866e38 c^-2 meV
