[yt-dev] axes units behaving correctly?

All,

I'm seeing some behavior[1] with units of axes that seems
counter-intuitive, but maybe I need to change my intuition.

In particular, if one makes a slice plot, but specifies the width of the
plot in units of 'code_length' - for example, from using domain_right_edge
- the units aren't properly converted to whatever was set as
`ds.length_unit`.  Is this working as intended?  Are users expected to
manually apply `.in_cgs()` to such items that have code_length?  Naively, I
would expect that when units are displayed, if they are code_* units, they
should be converted to whatever is declared in
`ds._set_code_unit_attributes`.
