    @bagder We could start using systematic binary prefixes, akin to systematic element names, for those that don’t already have an officially assigned name?

    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/System

    So 2^128 bytes
    = 2^8 x 2^120 bytes
    = 256 x 1024^12 bytes
    = 256 unbi-bibytes (12 = un bi)

    Seems quite compact actually.

    And could also extend to systematic SI prefixes for power-of-1000 magnitude numbers?
