I was looking at units.cpp file recently and noticed this was not fixed
yet. There was surely a reason to comment out the correct data, I am
wandering what it was? My guess is that nobody is using pica as units
(including me) and this bug (if it is a bug) remaind unnoticed.

As an addition: to me it seems that last two members does not belog to
this array as they represent different measurement than the rest. All
are measurig lenght, "°" represent angle (is it in radian or degrees?)
and "%" is pure number without dimension.
