u64 could be up to ~1.8**19 decimal
zetta and yotta are not possible or necessary.
u128 maybe someday, but then other changes
would be necessary too.

index is unbounded (doesn't matter currently, it will for u128)

static const or it might be better to use
unsigned int divisor = (string_size_units == STRING_UNITS_2) ? 1024 : 1000;
as that would make the code clearer in a
couple of uses of divisor[] later.
