OK, I can understand that for having a define for each of the 64 possible values
(1<<0) .. (1<<63) can be annoying.

Will the preffered methods be
xx << 10 for KiB
xx << 20 for MiB
xx << 30 for GiB and so on?

Or might we have a few macros like

#define KiB(x) ((x) << 10)
#define MiB(x) ((x) << 20) and so on?

That would reduce all to about 6 defines.

Best Regards,
Reinhard
