The units above (for -k) are 1024 and 512. It was always producing
binary output. (Again, the name "human readable" means nothing.
It's "abbreviated". I can add the word "binary" if you'd like?)

I don't feel strongly about this (except or despising the words
"kibibytes" and similar).  Please let me know what to do when
you and Rikk reach a consensus. :)

As for "human readable" generic plumbing, the toybox --help text

Because it's trying to describe generic stuff. Alas, the "human
readable" plumbing takes a bunch of flags because it _isn't_
generic. :P
