--- Comment #7 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

In addition to what has been commented here, the slash might be used as a
number separator in some locales and one cannot be sure it is a divider (the
function could be limited to spinedits). The very basic arithmetic is not
enough anyway, and many tools provide the functionality out of the box (eg.
KRunner on Linux/KDE but also the search bar on Windows starts a calculator).

I like mixing units a lot. Adding it to the number in order to convert into
what is defined could be a good alternative to the widget proposed in bug
72662.

So while we concluded that such a feature is not worth the effort, I think we
can keep the ticket open with a low priority until more users ask for such a
feature.
