Description

As discussed in https://github.com/josephwright/siunitx/issues/430, using \textperiodcentred for \cdot in text mode can have some spacing oddities. The same is true for \texttimes, which is much 'tighter' than for \times in math mode, depending on the font.

I'd like ideas on how best to handle this: v2 used \ensuremath{...}, but that feels wrong and I'd prefer to use 'real' text mode fonts.
