(I'm in a furball too much to comment on the primary proposal, so just about
this.)

I agree such methodic use of formatByteSize() would be nice to have. But for
that we'd anyway need one more formatByteSize(), which would take the
desired, khm, magnitude of unit (as the one in Michael's patch).

We'd also need an equivalent method for unit/sec amounts, say,
formatByteRate(). Currently there are some examples like
i18n("%1/s", formatByteSize(...)), which is rather ungainly.
