A few days ago I was blissfully ignorant of the fact that there were
any unit suffixes at all in these fields, having assumed that all
mappers were storing metric units as implied by Mapfeatures. We now
have a messy set of proposals from which we need to find the best
outcome.

So _please_ don't let's end up also introducing thousands separators
where we don't need them.
