[Bug-tar] FeatureRequest: add K, M, G, T tags to the -L option

[Renich Bon Ciric]

Hello,

thank you very much for, possibly, the most useful app in the world of
computing! I use it a lot and every day!

I'd like to ask for a feature. It should be easier and more precise if
you could use the following tags on a -L option:
K = kilobytes
M = Megabytes
G = Gigabytes
T = Terabytes

For example,

tar -acvf files.tar.lzma -M -L 4.2G /path/to/a/lot/of/files

Also, auto-renaming would be awesome so I didn't have to type n
newname2.tar.lzma. It should handle this for itself, no?

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this. Keep it up!

It's hard to be free... but I love to struggle. Love isn't asked for;
it's just given. Respect isn't asked for; it's earned!
