That didn't work with brwiregauge (British wiregauge), so it's probably
a parallel implementation, I figure.
The "units" help for wiregauge needs to be cranked back a page (with ^B)
to grab the start of section, so we can read that wiregauge is AWG, and
that is the same as B&S (which I didn't know):
$ units
You have: help wiregauge # Puts wiregauge at top of page.
# Hit ^B to go back a page.
Incidentally, if we forget the full name of that darned "wire" unit,
hitting TAB once completes it, as the given characters are already
unique. If there's a BELL instead, hit TAB again for a list of name
completion options.
I'm tempted to edit the file to change brwiregauge to wiregaugeSWG, and
wiregauge to wiregaugeAWG, so that TABing "wire" will offer American or
British, and we can do this:
You have: 0.3 mm
You want: wire<TAB><TAB>
wiregaugeAWG wiregaugeSWG
You want: wiregaugeAWG
28.586071
You have: 0.3 mm
You want: wiregaugeSWG
30.73622
Yup, that makes the other gauge easier to find, I think.
(I backed up the original before fiddling, as that change couldn't be
done in a supplementary `.units.dat' file in your home directory.)
