i suspect this could be named 'bytestring2ll' ? Is 'bytesexp' an 
existing naming in other libraries?

we have type shortcuts for 'long long': s64.

s64 too i suspect.

Note, you can probably avoid this type cast if you define the 'K' 
literal as 1024LL or so.

we might want to take a naming clue here and name this new function as 
atoll_exp(), to signal that it works like atoll, just with an extension 
for KB/MB/GB/etc. expressions?
