I prefer powers of 1024 because it help a lot more than powers of 1000.
But if you think that the ambiguity is the only problem then use kbin; /
use kdec; or use k1000; / use k1024; pragmas could solve it. I would
prefer to use k1024 by default (with warning. and maybe with use strict
the default would not be allowed, i.e. user have to choose one to use
it. but I would like the default 1024 to work with one-liners)
