Yes, but this isn't:

  (ls-lisp-format-file-size 4060 t) => "   4k"

Of course, on Posix platforms you will need to (require 'ls-lisp)
first, which is undesirable.  Hmm...

It would make sense to extract the workhorse of
ls-lisp-format-file-size and make it a separate function in subr.el.
Patches welcome.
