Hello OpenMathers,

I have opened
        http://jira.activemath.org//browse/OM-11
This issue is raised against the usage of the too general arith1/ times symbol to denote that a quantity is expressed using a given set of units.

My main concern currently, is about presentation: it seems pretty hard to create foolproof conditions that detects when a multiplication is actually an expression of units. Also, my feeling is that authors know that they express that (e.g. some write the square brackets around them).

I would thus propose to add an in-units symbol in units_op1, of course adding the FMP that it's "just a times" (namely, a specialization of).

thanks for comments

paul
