Ok, I'll take a look.

While we're on the subject, the units used by pg_size_pretty() are
incorrect, at least according to the IEC: for example, "MB" is
strictly-speaking one million bytes, not 1024^2 bytes. 1024^2 bytes is 1
MiB (similarly for KiB, GiB, and TiB). I'll take a look at fixing this
as well, barring any objections.
