Description

Dimensionless unit SpectralRegions would seem to suffer from the same bug as #846. In conversations with @rosteen, there is a fair debate about whether SpectralRegions should support this usecase (considering... they're not spectral units). This issue is meant to encapsulate that discussion. Other interested parties I'm pinging: @eteq @pllim @camipacifici @orifox @PatrickOgle
