It would probably interfere with scripts that people are using to parse
iostat output.  Even *this* change that slides everything to the right
by one column may cause a bit of surprise, but I see that -H is not
taken as an option.  I'll try to grab it and add support for human
readable numbers, but keep it non-default.
