/// Converts a numeric value into a string that represents the number
/// expressed as a size value in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes,
/// or terabytes depending on the size. Output is identical to
/// StrFormatByteSize() in shlwapi.dll. This is a format similar to
/// the Windows Explorer file Properties page. For example:
/// 532 becomes 532 bytes
/// 1240 becomes 1.21 KB
/// 235606 becomes 230 KB
/// 5400016 becomes 5.14 MB
///

///
/// It was surprisingly difficult to emulate the StrFormatByteSize() function
/// due to a few quirks. First, the function only displays three digits:
/// – displays 2 decimal places for values under 10 (e.g. 2.12 KB)
/// – displays 1 decimal place for values under 100 (e.g. 88.2 KB)
/// – displays 0 decimal places for values under 1000 (e.g. 532 KB)
/// – jumps to the next unit of measure for values over 1000 (e.g. 0.97 MB)
/// The second quirk: insiginificant digits are truncated rather than
/// rounded. The original function likely uses integer math.
/// This implementation was tested to 100 TB.
