I agree that considering _units_ opens a huge can of worms.  Aside from the
example you mention, one might expect that 10V / 1kΩ would produce a result in
Amps: 12mA.  Such intelligence about units would be _far_ more complex than a
simple display format.

And I think it's unnecessary to go that far.  I think prefix support alone,
without considering units would be very useful and much simpler to implement.
