Instead of changing the behavior of the "b" formatter I have added four new formatters. #15
bd
bytes decimal formatter for base-1000 bytes (kB, MB, GB)bb
bytes binary formatter which displays kibi/mebi/gibi bytes per the SI standards (KiB, MiB, GiB). Despite being a standard, it is less popular and might not be the appropriate default.bitb
bits binary formatter for base-1024 bits (kibit, Mibit, Gibit)bitd
bits decimal formatter for base-1000 bits (kbit, Mbit, Gbit)elastic/kibana#7543
