I did not know this command existed, and I haven't used it before. I find that this command follows a weird philosophy, and I am not surprised that this command is only a recent addition to calc (absent in the "old" calc-2.02f, which, I believe was the last version of calc before this package became part of GNU Emacs). I cannot help saying that all these more recent changes to calc's handling of units were put in place by someone without a practical day-to-day interest in the subject.
