bug#58521: human readable still wrong output (after 20+ years?)

[chandler]

The failure to use correct prefixes is still a cause for major confusion 
amongst individuals especially when sharing data, and especially when other 
programs are involved that do correctly report file sizes. K, M, G, T, etc. 
have NEVER referred to base-2 values until they were incorrectly introduced 
into the computing world, who knows, probably 50 years ago or more. Someday 
maybe all computer programs will properly report file sizes. Please make 
corrections so that '-h' flag correctly uses prefixes Ki, Mi, Gi, Ti, etc. Or 
change -h default behavior to report base-10 values and add another flag to 
report base-2 values+prefixes. Please no excuses about how this will break 
other programs, that is up to their maintainers to fix given the corrected 
output.

Please no suggestions for users to make changes to the default environment to 
fix wrong output. -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT
