// Standard SI prefixes use lowercase "k" for kilo = 1000.
// For compatibility, and to be fool-proof, we accept both "k" and "K" in metric mode.
//
// However, official binary prefixes are always capitalized - "KiB" -
// and we specifically never parse "kB" as 1024B because:
//
// (1) people pedantic enough to use lowercase according to SI unlikely to abuse "k" to mean 1024 :-)
//
// (2) Use of capital K for 1024 was an informal tradition predating IEC prefixes:
// "The binary meaning of the kilobyte for 1024 bytes typically uses the symbol KB, with an
// uppercase letter K."
// -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte#Base_2_(1024_bytes)
// "Capitalization of the letter K became the de facto standard for binary notation, although this
// could not be extended to higher powers, and use of the lowercase k did persist.[13][14][15]"
// -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix#History
// See also the extensive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_binary_prefixes.
