Hmm, not sure if I would unconditionally recommend it, but could be fine
for most places.

Albeit, for things where humans are not the primary consumer it might be
good to allow controlling this, potentially a --no-human-output flag that
causes things like TimeSpan and HumanByte to print just second/byte numbers.
But it also seems like a lot of work to do if there isn't even someone
requesting that use case.
