4531	Enable unit checking by default	Francesco Casella	Mahder Alemseged Gebremedhin	"We have tested the unit checking feature {{{-d=frontEndUnitCheck}}} extensively and we believe it works nicely.

I would suggest to turn on this feature by default. We can't do this for 1.12.0 because of feature freeze, but I would recommend it for 1.13.0 (i.e., the master branch). 

On one hand, this won't break any existing model, since it just issues warnings. 

On the other hand, there is no reason why people should write models which are dimensionally inconsistent. Failure of unit checking is a clear indication of either a mistake in the declaration of variables, or of a wrong equation, or both. 

So, I see no reason to keep this feature off by default. To the contrary, I believe it should become part of the forthcoming 1.13 beta so many more users have a chance of discovering potentially remaining bugs."	enhancement	closed	high	1.13.0	Frontend		duplicate		Andrea Bartolini
