Hmm. Yes.  I don't know how much we really care in the end, but
especially now that we actually show it in the cylinder size, it's not
good.

In fact, with this patch now applied, the AL80, that used to look like

   80(77)cuft

in the size field, now looks like

   80(80)cuft

which is pointless and wrong.

That "let's get the right value for the most common cylinder in the
known universe" was a big part of trying to be more exact here, and
now we don't do that any more.

I like that Robert's function can handle other gases than air, but I
do think it's too far off from reality to be good.

Or we just need to stop showing the corrected cylinder size, because
right now it's useless and very wrong.
