Thanks. I don't care much about what the short option is, but it's quite important for my use case that it does have a short form. Given the NetBSD precedent [1], I think -h is fine. We can make the long option --human-readable or --exponents, I don't have any opinion on that. Should I respin with -h instead of -e? Rasmus [1] https://man.netbsd.org/factor.6
