I'd like to have the ability to enter a description within a calculation
instead of entering the description in an adjacent cell. Something like:
=(4.08+2.5)[Acres] would yeild a result of 6.58 Acres.

You may even use a custom format like:
#.#0 "Acres"
That will show 6.58 Acres while the cell contains only the number 6.58
