That has always been the case.  The reason is more a limitation of
Maple than Syrup in that it isn't possible to enter 10uF unless
quoted.   I could extend the ladder notation to accept strings
(as well as number) and then parse them.  You could then enter
C("10uF").  Let me now if that would be useful; it wouldn't be 
hard to add.
