Pre-existing, but should we be favoring the technically correct
kibibyte, mebibyte, gibibyte, ... terms, since we are treating it as
powers of 1024, rather than the potentially confusing kilobyte term
(since disk vendors favor powers of 1000)?

Pre-existing, but this code is not robust against overflow.  And now
that you are adding E, it's 6 fewer decimal characters that I have to
type to pass in a value that will exceed even int64_t.
