bug#1018: 23.0.60; Calculator Units Table "weirdness"

[David Hansen <david.hansen@gmx.net>]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

From the units table (u v in calc):

 tsp          492892159375 10^-11 ml      Teaspoon

These aren't quite friendly too

 galUK        454609 10^-5 L              UK Gallon
 ga           980665 10^-5 m / s^2        "g" acceleration

Not sure where to draw the line, e.g. giving the exact value of c in m/s
is common, but at least the "Teaspoon" should be changed to

 tsp          4.92892159375 ml      Teaspoon
