Description
Hello,
Thanks for maintaining siunitx. I'm using siunitx in with number-mode=match, as I want numbers to match the surroundings (but not the product symbols or units). (Specifically, I don't like the text-mode times symbol of my font - it's a bit too small). However, when I print a product in text mode, the product symbol (both in \qtyproduct and \num) also becomes the text-mode one. I think this might be a bug -- basically there's no setting for misc. symbols, only units and numbers.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior with number-mode=match using the \qtyproduct and \num entry points in text mode. Trace how number and product symbols are selected, then verify that numbers still match their surroundings while product symbols use an independent setting in both commands.
