### Introduction

The goal of this project is to provide a tiny library that would facilitate the
common operations with sizes in bytes. Many projects need to work with sizes in
bytes (be it sizes of storage space, memory,...) and all of them need to deal
with the same issues like:

* How to get a human-readable string for the given size?
* How to store the given size so that no significant information is lost?
* If we store the size in bytes, what if the given size gets over the ``MAXUINT64``
  value?
* How to interpret sizes entered by users according to their locale and typing
  conventions?
* How to deal with the decimal/binary units (*MB* vs. *MiB*) ambiguity?
