Why not just accept KB/sec, KiB/sec, GB/mo, GiB/mo in the config file?
That would be #9214 [1], implemented by CharlieB, shipped since tor 0.2.5.1-alpha.
Good, this is the most sensical behavior to the widest array of people who type things into config files
Actually, this is alas not the case.
We now support gbits (1<<27) and gbytes (1<<30) in the torrc file, but we do not support "gib". Or I think more correctly, we say gbytes for what you want us to call gibs, and if you want to say a billion bytes, you need to type all the zeros.
I learned about the 'gib, kib' etc in wikipedia a while back - it'd be best if the config file were extremely liberal in accepting what people type, IMO.
