In the meantime, here is simple patch for case-insensivity.
You might be able to talk me into accepting various unambiguous, common
alternative spellings of various units. But for instance allowing MB and Mb
to mean the same thing is insane.
How would the docs for that look like? And anyway, what is wrong with
Mb for megabytes?
I doesn't seem completely unreasonable to me that we'd want to express
something in megabits/second in the future. For example, instead of
vacuum_cost_delay, it would be cool to specify a bandwidth allowance.
Megabits/second is a completely reasonable unit for that. Or a limit on
network bandwidth.
FWIW, I don't feel very strongly either way. I'm more than happy with
the status quo. The hint in the error message very clearly spells out
what the valid values are, so it's immediately clear what you need to
fix if you get that wrong.
