I now tried your originally posted examples (1) and (2) with the old
version of `calc-convert-units' you posted, and they both don't seem to
work as you wish: (1) errors, it just doesn't ask about the old units
before that, and case (2) is also simplified to a plain number.
Are you able to test these cases using that old Calc code? I first want
to know what are really regressions, and then we can try to find a
solution. Just going back to the version of `calc-convert-units' you
had posted doesn't seem to do what you want.
BTW, my impression of the intended semantics of
`calc-allow-units-as-numbers' is that an expression that can be
transformed into an equivalent unitless expression will be treated like
a unitless expression, i.e. as a number. I think this is the opposite
of what you want.
I still agree that the current default behavior is not acceptable in
your examples btw.
TIA,
Michael.
