Subject: [PATCH] human: add unambiguous block_size_args
Date: Mon,  1 Apr 2013 14:38:25 +0200

The units used in the outputs of "human-readable" and "si" look
identical when "K/k" is not present. Add two block_size_args, "binary"
and "decimal", that disambiguate between the outputs of "human-readable"
and "si" by adding human_B to the list of options.

See bug 7176 in GNU coreutils,
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=7176>.
