[parted-devel] [PATCH 1/2] parted: Fix ending sector location when using kilo IEC suffixes

The symbol for kilo- is a lowercase 'k'.  See:

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilo-

Parted should certainly handle a lowercase 'k' in input, and should
output lowercase 'k's when it means kilobytes or kibibytes.  If you want
to make it handle user input with an uppercase k as well, that's an extra
credit option...
