Yes, it can. The program can spend the processor time to run that extra instruction set. Do we actually need or want that? Would it be worth spending the cpu time in exchange for just a miniscule effort to do it ourselves?

This argument (Mbit/s versus GiB/month) reminds me of the old saw about the most useless unit of velocity (furlongs/fortnight instead of m/sec).

I know exactly what you mean. Personally, I consider any change to be a convenience modification only. In reality the only current differences are in defining storage rate and traffic rate (1024/1000 respectively) and its defined in bits. From there all conversions are simple math that should be operator responsibility.
Why, when the config file can be liberal in what it accepts in the numerator, and in the denominator (seconds, days, weeks, mean months)?
Calculating numbers is a job for a computer.
