Does siunitx (or any other unit package) have a way of showing plural units?
For example, \SI{1}{\bit}
should (and does) render "1 bit".
But \SI{20}{\bit}
should render "20 bits"; instead, it renders "20 bit".
I understand that this isn't always the default (for example, if you want to talk about a "32-bit operating system"), but is there an option that would enable this?
To support validity of this question I can give and example where IEEE in their 'Editorial Style Manual' require that "Plurals of units of measure take the “s.” For example, the plural form of 3 mil is 3 mils; 3 bits/s instead of 3 bit/s".
