 Tor's configuration, for settings like `BandwidthRate`, supports unit
 abbreviates like "`KB`", "`MByte`", and "`GBytes`".

 For tera-, it supports "TB", and apparently "terabyte(s)", "terabit(s)"
 and "TBit(s)", but not "`TByte`" or "`TBytes`".

 The man page suggests that they should be supported, without quite
 entirely saying so:

 {{{
 bytes|KBytes|MBytes|GBytes|KBits|MBits|GBits
 }}}

 {{{
 The prefixes "tera" and "T" are also recognized.
 }}}

 Bug on c10faf50858943edafe042664b49f8a743df6d7c (r12936) in
 0.2.0.14-alpha, i would say, when "KByte(s)", "MByte(s)" and "GByte(s)"
 were introduced. ("`TB`" and "terabyte(s)" already existed.)

 I have a (two-line) patch, but i have **NOT** checked that it works or
 even compiles.
