It might not make sense to you but now you know that it does to some 
people who are using not 100% or 200% zoom default and rather, say, 150% 
like the system default (at least on macOS).

Anyway, for system default, there is a solutions that seem compatible 
with your position:

Set the system default to 100% (and even better make the system default 
so that it matches the actual size of the font). There was a discussion 
about this on the list if I remember correctly.

That leaves people who are not happy with system default in the rain. 
You would lose round numbers that way, but I guess that is acceptable to 
you if you are consistent.

Alternatively, just name whatever is set as the default 100%?
