Is there an advantage in converting user provided hfuzz values to sp?
I was looking through the fancyvrb code. At a point it defines a key hfuzz
as follows:
define@key{FV}{hfuzz}{%
@tempdima=#1relax
edeffv_hfuzz{number@tempdima sp}}}
fvset{hfuzz=2pt}
What is the reason to convert it to sp?

Suppose you do
fvset{1em}
in the preamble.
If the code just did deffv_hfuzz{#1} the value of em current at point of usage would be used (maybe influenced by some footnotesize or similar declaration).
The code in fancyvrb.sty, instead, freezes the value at point of definition.
You also get an error in case of an input such as fvset{hfuzz=2}.
On the other hand,
edeffv_hfuzz{the@tempdima}
would be as good.

@YiannisLazarides I see none at all: the conversion frompttospis completely predictable. Maybe the author likes integers better than floating point numbers.
