 * When dealing with computer file sizes, it is common to append a post fix
 * such as B, KB, MB or GB to a string in order to easily denote the order of
 * magnitude of the file size. This plug-in allows sorting to take these
 * indicates of size into account.
 * 
 * A counterpart type detection plug-in is also available.
