Since "-H" can no longer be used as the short option for "--si" (except in
df) due to the POSIX requirement that it be the short option for
"--dereference-command-line", could "-M" be used as its replacement?
Neither ls, du, nor df currently have an "-M" option (though ls and du have
"-m"), so it is available in all three commands.  Additionally, SI is
colloquially called the Metric system, so "-M" has some mnemonic value to
it.  Any thoughts?
