Description

Comes up from https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/693582/bug-in-siunitx/693608. Currently, \tothe assumes that the input is a simple value. This means if no further maths takes place, it is simply printed even if a complex value. However, adding \per forces evaluation and a potentially a confusing error. There should be finer control of this: likely such a change would need to go with a way to convert decimals to fractions.
