don't ever need to say that K = 1000, AFAICS. I think we are safe to
assume that
kB = KB = kb = Kb = 1024 bytes
mB = MB = mb = Mb = 1024 * 1024 bytes
gB = GB = gb = Gb = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 bytes
There's no value in forcing the use of specific case and it will be just
confusing for people.
It's fairly common to use 'b' for 'bits' and 'B' for 'bytes'. My suggestion would be to be
much more restrictive and avoid small caps:
KB = 1024 bytes
MB = 1024 KB
GB = 1024 KB
TB = 1024 GB
Although I don't expect to see bit-rates or fractions ('m' == 'milli') in GUC, it might be
good to use consistent units everywhere.
