I think it's in square base units. This can't be changed since
pcb doesn't know how to convert square units. This is the only
variable that would need such a thing.

Peter C. has hinted at getting rid of IsleArea entirely, but I
don't think there is any progress toward this goal. It is only
used in MorphPolygon.

Looks like an accident. It might have been done to prevent people
using it.
