Bug: Dimension equation functions do not handle units properly

Certain functions like "sqrt()" do not handle units properly. Suppose I define a user variable, A = 4mm in the "Change Parameters" window. Later if I try and make a dimension "sqrt(4)" it will evaluate to 2 (document units setting at the time the dimension was created). This is fine and behaves as expected. Then, if I change it to "sqrt(A)" the field will turn red and not let you submit but also not give any feedback as to why. If I then change it to "sqrt(A/1mm)" it will again evaluate to the previous result which means the problem is the function doesn't know how to handle units. I actually think this is fine that it doesn't process a user variable with dimensions in it but Fusion should give some feedback as to why it can't evaluate certain expressions as debugging is time inefficient.
