I do not personally object a bit to making the units comparisons
case-insensitive (I think it's mainly Peter who wants to be strict
about it).  I don't think there are any other good ideas in this
patch, however, and exposing ourselves to intermediate overflows in
the name of simplicity is definitely not one.
