This is confusing.
I think the confusion stems from the option names themselves.
I.E. I'm not sure you'd want to warn as you might want to support overriding
options.
Consider: alias df='df -h'
Then you could very well want to `df -H` to override the power from 1024 to
1000.
So really the option should be --human-si not just --si.
Also I notice that in GNU df, -h and -H are 1024 and 1000 based respectively,
whereas on FreeBSD it's the other way around :(
How about we just support --human-si and deprecate --si ?
thanks,
Pádraig.
