   Why is .0 wrong when .1 would be okay? I can see not wanting to do 1.0
   bytes (where it would be silly), but if a decimal makes sense in some
   contexts, why not in others? Shouldn't we just be following normal
   scientific significant digits rules?


well, considering this is about _humanising_ a number...
i don't think that we do that at all.
