There is little difference (except that it ask for a syntax modification
which should be heavy weighted)
between this proposition and
c1 = 1*nF (same as: c1 = 1e-9 # F )
c = 299.79*M (same as: c = 299.79e6 )
f_hy = 1.4204*GHz (same as: f_hy = 1.4204e9 # Hz)
with correct definition of the constants in a library.
So a library would be welcome.
