units for `gsw.density.rho`? #178

I'm wondering if there is a mistake in the docs with respect to the unit for gsw.density.rho. Should it be kg/m^3 instead of kg/m?

You are correct. The information in the docstrings, including these units, are taken from a Matlab version, so that is the origin of this error. We will look into getting it fixed. I don't know whether the error is still present in the latest Matlab version; since it is not developed using revision control we will need to check the latest zipfile.
