specify a unit for mem limit

I have some request for option -M of busb.

By default, the limit is specified in KB.
And I can use LSF_UNIT_FOR_LIMITS in lsf.conf to specify a larger unit for the limit (MB, GB, TB, PB, or EB).

Aside from this, I'd like to specify a unit for the limit through bsub syntax.

For example,
bsub -M 100MB -Is hostname
bsub -M 100GB -Is hostname
bsub -M 100TB -Is hostname

For larger numbers of users, I think they want to decide a unit for the limit on their own.

I hope you will carefully consider our points.
