what's American about it? If anything, it's more French than American ;-)
Well, actually this started with scaling integers, and I was worried
about a billion / billionth (and up / down). In mid-task I switched
to ISO prefix without bothering to update my mental state. So I
warned about a problem that a former version of this code had. As I
hit send, I realized my stupidity, but figured I was better off not
wasting more bandwidth (which I now have done). If I had it to do
over again, I'd have made the default unit something like meters --
again non-British, and it avoids the issue of 1024 / 1000 altogether.
