Description
I would like to use numbers in siunitx where the main number and uncertainty have exponents like:
\num{1.1e-2\pm0.1e-2}
However this gives a "Misplaced sign token error" and I have to first find a common exponent for both quantities and write the exponent in the end:
\num{1.1\pm0.1e-2}
This gives the expected output of 1.1(1) x 10^{-2}.
I think that it would be easier to make the syntax in the first example, or perhaps something with different exponents like \num{1.1e-2\pm1e-3}, equivalent to \num{1.1\pm0.1e-2}?
