   Your request makes sense for me. In terms of implementation, we will be able to keep the unit as a kind of Enum and use the Enum type to represent the original input unit. But, it will cause the different behavior of the current library. So, let me think about more if there is a better option.

   I hope it won't affect the ByteSize representation (I think it should be a lightweight wrapper around usize). However, a new wrapper, ByteSizeWithUnit, can be introduced to store `size' and the initial unit if it's useful.

   However, simple use IEC by default (#37) covers 99% of use cases, so an additional structure is redundant.

   The most simple way is to display ByteSize, without .display(), in bytes.

   Thus,

   let block_sectors = 1953458176;
   let size = ByteSize::kib(block_sectors / 2);
   println!("{}", size);
   
   // prints 1953458176 B

   Due to #135 I may try to create a logical fork of this crate to demonstrate some ideas here :D

   Here is the crate: https://github.com/fast/bsize
