I'm not sure the added complexity would be worth it (plus it probably
wouldn't handle i18n).

I just noticed the emphasis on supplying the plural form of the unit to
format_data_size while reading the docs, and wondered if that implied it
would be trying to guess the singular or not.  I think it would be worth
mentioning directly in the documentation.
