I was a little surprised that the final unit character is optional since
it's not optional for most printf-like functions.  What's the default
behavior if the unit character is omitted?  Can you provide examples
showing the behavior when it's omitted?

I'm also a little surprised that there isn't an unsigned variant.
Existing practice (for instance in "usr/src/cmd/ls/ls.c") has the
equivalent function taking an unsigned value; types such as fsblkcnt_t
are also unsigned.

Will this project involve the conversion of existing utilities (ls, df,
zfs, zpool, etc.,) within OS/Net to use the new common humanize_number
function?
