[issue31749] Request: Human readable byte amounts in the standard library

[Michael DePalatis]

Michael DePalatis <mike at depalatis.net> added the comment:

This would be a useful feature, but I don't think it quite fits in the math package. It might make more sense to use this with string formatting, for example:

{:h}.format(filesize)

where I use h as the format specifier since it doesn't appear to be taken yet and would be in line with "human-readable" options in tools like ls.
