Comment(by nickm):

 Hm. I think that we deliberately simplified the manual so that people
 wouldn't get confused or think there was a difference between B and Bytes
 here, or "K" and "Kilo".  I guess we could list all 22 synonyms?  Or maybe
 we could come up with a nice compact way to say "It's a unit of memory,
 see X for a list of all recognized units."   But that would probably make
 the manpage less usable, since you'd need to chase the cross-reference to
 know how to configure one of these options.
