SI units are a standard that was kind of imposed top down on the computer
science community. But we learned to use KB MB so why no keep the defacto
standard we already have? Kibibytes and mibibytes were never really
adopted.
1K == 1000
1KB == 1024
1M == 1000**2
1MB == 1024**2
Suffixes, simple.
int_value = 8M
float_value = 8.0M or float("8M")
fraction_value = Fraction(1M, 8) or Fraction("1M/8")
decimal_value = Decimal("1.2345M")
Suffixes are by definition at the end of a literal. So
1E1E == 1E1 * 1E
