We have pondered the matter of listing all the units that have the same value as a given unit, and we're not feeling like this is a particularly useful capability. For the most part, units tend to be defined twice, once in a full name form and once in an abbreviated form, and both definitions are adjacent in the database.
So unless you can convince us otherwise, we're not going to add this feature. We have fixed the second issue of the doubled "/" when your home is root.
