I disagree. There is a ton of additional info we could display there. IMO file
managers need to display the most important parts to dont mess the GUI too
much. I am sure that there will be users which dont like the additional
"noise". Same for the status bar.
If a user is in need to see the exact size in bytes, he/she will quickly
discover the configuration option.

Than IMO it would be better to just add a new column in View-->Configure
Columns... 
Like that there is still the option to have "size in byte" and "size human
readable" at the same time.

> The patch here also added (iirc) showing the exact size in status line. E.g.
Ah, I did not recognize that.  The bar provides sufficient space to display
both in a good way. E.g:
"aclocal.m4" - 439.3 kB (493,308 bytes) - M4 macro
I dont know what is the best way in terms of implementation. But even if it's
harder to implement, IMO we should go for the best possible outcome.
