Description
As noted in #2918, the current return wavelength unit from NIST depends on the input wavelength. This should be documented better and/or, preferably, should be accommodated through returning a QTable with the appropriate units instead of the current unitless table.
This is a relatively easy fix but should be accompanied by appropriate tests.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the NIST query implementation and its existing tests, then review the behavior described in #2918. Done means NIST results return a QTable with wavelength-dependent units, with appropriate tests covering the unit handling.
