Is it naivety to suggest that we just apply the scale from engineering
notation only for component values to end in their unit type? All
other cases remain the same since there are as far as I know no units
that have 2 letter abbreviations.

The question in my mind is just what to do with the meter units you
want to use. By all means we should have them but what is spice going
to do with them?

While I am attempting to keep backward compatibility to gnet-spice and gnet-spice-sdb in cases where it is harmless, I am changing behaviors that have caused me trouble in the past. So, I appreciate suggestions and will try to judge them on their merits for future application: backward compatibility is not a priority here.
