My thinking was that r stands for real like f stands for float.
The next available letter in the e, f, g sequence would be 'h'. If you want it to stand for something, it could be "human-readable" or "human-oriented". (There's a precedent for this in the "df" unix utility which has a -H option producing SI prefixes.)
I'm talking about chosing between "M" or "mega". The actual unit itself is up to the caller to supply.
Maybe 'h' for abbreviations and 'H' for full prefixes? -- Greg
