These are not standard options. While the coreutils version of df common
on Linux has an undocumented -m option it does not have -g.

Solaris' df does have -g, but it has a different use: "Prints the entire
statvfs(2) structure".

I wouldn't object to -m as those OS which have the -m flag are using it
for megabytes display. But the inconsistency for -g makes it seem a bad
idea to support.

(-k is the only size formatting which is an _actual_ standard).
