Building on Pádraig's Gnulib patches of November, I installed the
attached to add support to Coreutils for the new SI prefixes R and Q.
It'll be a while before 'df -h' outputs them, as I'm not expecting file
systems in the ronnabyte range soon, given that the total amount of data
storage in the world is still less than a yottabyte, and given that
we'll need 128-bit integers support all this consistently. Still, the
new R and Q prefixes are supported by 'sort' and 'numfmt' as-is.
Thanks for doing that.
I see you missed my proposal from Nov,
which I didn't commit since I had a similar more complete
local patch set I was working on.

We ended up with almost exactly the same thing which is good.
Attached are some further tweaks,
which I've pushed just now.
Marking this as done.
cheers,
Pádraig
