Would it be useful to call it Vdb, i.e. a voltage measurement not
necessarily using the 1V RMS standard reference?

Maybe dBv stands for dB "variable," not dB with respect to a volt.
Not with respect one volt, but voltage based, using the 20log rather
than the power-based 10log conversion.

dBV is a voltage measure with a reference of 1V RMS. It's an
international standard. If a K3 function does something else, it needs
to be called something else.
