Humanstats

[jodavies]

I was experimenting a bit with an On Humanstats;. With a test program like

#-
On fewerstats,0;
Off threadstats;

CFunction f;
Symbol x;

Local test = f(1);
.sort

#do i = 1,9
	Identify f(?x) =
		#do j = 1,11
			+ f(?x,`j')
		#enddo
	;
	.sort:iter `i';
#enddo
.end

which produces stats:

I was wondering about not printing anything for numbers < 1000(1024), but I think I prefer the consistency of always printing something, even if that means you have "0.0 K" or "0.0 KB".

The bytes numbers are KiB, MiB etc. Should we print KiB or KB?

Any thoughts? I would propose to have this on-by-default for FORM5.
