Well, if you add that, you should also list all the other valid units.  
But it's quite redundant, because nearly all the parameters that take 
units are already listed with units in the default file.  (Which makes 
Magnus's mistake all the more curios.)

In my mind, this is pretty silly.  There is no reputable precedent 
anywhere for variant capitalization in unit names.  Next thing we point 
out that zeros are significant in the interior of numbers, or what?
