Hey guys.  Been trying to tease Maxima into simplifying a*kg*m/s^2 to
a*Newtons, but I haven't got anywhere.  Is the following expected
behavior, and if so is there any way to achieve the effect I'm looking
for?

Maxima 5.9.0.1cvs
CMU Common Lisp 18e
(C1) tellsimpafter(kg*m/s^2,Newtons);

(D1)                          [*RULE1, SIMPTIMES]
(C2) kg*m/s^2;

(D2)                                Newtons
(C3) a*kg*m/s^2;

                                    a kg m
(D3)                                ------
                                       2
                                      s

Thanks, 
CY
