That makes this change more than "localizable messages", doesn't it?

As an old timer, I do not mind MiB (I'd prefer the old-fashioned MB
myself), but I think "20 bytes" (or "1 byte") spelled out is much
easier to grok and less prone to get misunderstood than "20B".  Like
it or not, with scale prefixes, e.g. "20 kiB", "20 MiB", etc., it is
hard to misunderstand what 'B' means in there, but without any scale
prefix, i.e. "20 B", it is rather easy to get confused what 'B'
means.
