Ah, so there can be a variable and a unit of the same name at the same
time? I can s s a variable "m". Is it good to allow this? I mean it's
good that meters is "m" as expected but if someone wants to use "m" as a
variable in the same formula it necessarily gets ugly.

I dunno. latex language mode has several submodes (see
`calc-latex-language'), but none of them uses that.
BTW, do you know (Bug#30231) why allowed characters in units are
restricted?
Thanks,
Michael.
