Bug description:
  This package displays or refers to quantities using power-of-two units
  (e.g. 1024, 1048576, etc.) but incorrectly applies prefixes that are
  defined as power-of-ten units (e.g. the prefix 'k' is 1000, 'M' is
  1000000, etc.).

  According to the Brainstorm idea #17839 most people are for using IEC
  standard for binary byte units.
