 - Drift files have a lot of duplicate code. "web" version is the same as native version, only _openConnection is diferrent. Refactor to not duplicate code.
 - [X] Create Formula.toStringLiteral. It is the reverse of Formula.fromSet( Formula.fromArrayStringLiteral(string)[0] )
 - [X] Create UnitSpec.toStringLiteral, like Formula.toStringLiteral
-- [ ] Make Formula and UnitSpec subclasses of FormulaElement. Change return type of functions that return Object to FormulaElement if necessary.
