There also seems to be a bug in Xcode’s snapshots feature which sometimes removes updates to my code.  So every now and then, I have to fix bugs twice.

The bug has been found and fixed in the next free update. It appears to involve computations in which constant dimensionless values are converted into any dimension multiplied by the angle or dimensionless dimensions.
