[ANN] Bytes, a convenience to print the size of things

Hi there,

I've published a package to help printing measures of bytes in a human readable fashion.

Here is is:
http://www.squeaksource.com/Bytes

Examples:

        2 gigabytes asMegabyteString "will give you '2048 MB' if you print it"

for those who have stored half of the galaxy its range goes from kilo to yatto

enjoy

PS: it uses Aconcagua as foundation so be sure to install it first

May be you should create a metacello configuration for it.

Just FYI, there's also a single-method version of this behavior which
has been available in the "Ma base additions" package for some years
now..

maAsBytesDescription
        | suffixes |
        suffixes := { 'k'"ilobytes". 'M'"egabytes". 'G'"igabytes".
'T'"erabytes". 'P'"etabytes". 'E'"xabytes". 'Z'"ettabytes".
'Y'"ottabytes"}.
        suffixes size to: 1 by: -1 do:
                [ : index |  | units |
                units := 1000 raisedTo: index.
                self > units ifTrue: [ ^ ((self / units) asFloat roundTo: 0.01)
asString, (suffixes at: index) ] ].
        ^ self asString
