That’s basically what Kibi et al is though. It’s Ki(lo) bi(nary) — kibi.

Yeah it sounds dumb, but it’s really not that different from your suggestion.

It's very different from the solution proposed by gp.

    I disagree. They’re both inserting Bi as the distinction.

    The difference is the GP focused more on the abbreviation, but the implementation logic is similar.
