Hi Eric

This answers only one of your questions:

I would prefer

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (defmath uconv (expr target-units &optional pure)
    (math-convert-units expr target-units pure))
#+END_SRC

Calc syntax uses comma to separate the function arguments, see
examples in e. g.
http://orgmode.org/manual/Formula-syntax-for-Calc.html

| km     | ft           |
|--------+--------------|
| 2.5 km | 8202.0997 ft |
#+TBLFM: $2 = uconv($1, ft)

Btw, to have the units only in the column header:

|  km |        ft |
|-----+-----------|
| 2.5 | 8202.0997 |
#+TBLFM: $2 = uconv($1 * @<$1, @<$2, t)

The same without a user's defmath:

|  km |        ft |
|-----+-----------|
| 2.5 | 8202.0997 |
#+TBLFM: $2 = usimplify($1 * @<$1 / @<$2)
