Rstudio: [enhancement] Use SI or IEC binary units in environment pane
In the environment pane, object sizes are displayed using the "legacy" R standard.
For instance:
a <- 1:1e6
3.8 Mb is very misleading since b usually stands for bits, not bytes.
The latest R versions support SI units (since this commit: https://github.com/wch/r-source/commit/293426bff7113a642b501e9b8e08fcf97de1b8c8), it would be nice to use them. (or maybe IEC units)

Couldn't agree more! @Qjammer and I have created PR #4809 to address this issue. In the future, it would be nice if this was turned into a user setting, so that one can change between legacy, SI, and IEC standards for unit representation.
