To clarify:
What I meant is: it would be clearer if "+size{K,M,G}" were replaced with
"+size{K,KB,M,MB,G,GB}" in the prompt. Or perhaps list the supported
suffixes first like:
Supported: 10^N: KB (KiloByte), MB (MegaByte), GB (GigaByte)
2^N: K (KibiByte), M (MebiByte), G (GibiByte)
Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,KB,M,MB,G,GB} (3890219008-3907029167,
default 3907029167) :
The problem is that the "Unsupported suffix" error which lists the
supported suffixes only appears if the user makes a mistake. But if
the user sees {K,M,G} offered as suffixes in the prompt they will
never try anything else.
