bug#7241: Possible bug on split ?

 In many FAQs the small letter spelling is suggested, e.g.:

ntfsclone -s -o - <source> | gzip -c | split -a 3 -b 700m - <destination>

So IMO small letter writing for "MB" should be allowed, instead doc to explain, the small letters are allowed for "M", but not for "MB", seems to be difficult to communicate.

I'd say fix the doc.  Do you have a suggestion for
improving the wording?
