> The arbitrary units have bugged me for too long. 
> I would like to see, instead of {{trickle_fsync_interval_in_kb=1024}} {{trickle_fsync_interval=1MiB}}, and instead of {{max_hint_window_in_ms = 3 * 3600 * 1000}}, {{max_hint_window=3h}}
> We aren't currently even consistent, with {{counter_cache_save_period}} not specifying its units, and {{stream_throughput_outbound_megabits_per_sec=200}}  is tremendously ugly (vs {{inter_dc_stream_throughput_outbound=25MiB/s}} or {{inter_dc_stream_throughput_outbound=200MBit/s}})
> This is really trivial, and would make our config file look a lot less ugly. Of course, we'll have to support both in parallel for a period.
