Hi,

it'd be great to have a generic tool that can rewrite numbers that use SI or
binary prefixes to exact values; e.g.

unprefix -b 1M

would print 1048576, and

unprefix -s 1M

would print 1000000.

The reverse would also be useful (but would likely merit a different name).

At the extreme, the tool could act as a filter and rewrite all numbers it
sees on stdin (like adnsresfilter).
