Kilo Mega Giga Tera Peta Exa Zetta Yotta Ronna Quecca Bundecca
Note that I'm including the proposal for Ronna and Quecca, as well as the hypothetical Bundecca.
I guess that a nice approach would be to add this as a setting, and letting the abbreviate function use either the "standard" list (K M B T Qa Qt Sx Sp Oc No Dc, etc), the "short SI" list (k M G T P E Z Y R Q B) or the "long SI" list (Kilo Mega Giga Tera Peta Exa Zetta Yotta Ronna Quecca Bundecca). I don't see a need to add whole new notations, but rather change how the ones using the "standard" suffixes work.
Yeah, this seems good. I think either SI list with an exponent to the Bundeccas would be a good thing for abbreviate to be able to do, so 1e9999999999 would be 1 B³⁰³⁰³⁰³⁰³ or 1 Bundecca³⁰³⁰³⁰³⁰³, and 1e10000000008 would be 1 GB³⁰³⁰³⁰³⁰³ or 1 Gigabundecca³⁰³⁰³⁰³⁰³.
I'd like to have notations using the prefixes from the international system of units, i.e.:
Or their long forms:

I don't see a need to add whole new notations, but rather change how the ones using the "standard" suffixes work.There's also a proposal to extend the SI prefixes up to 10^48, which boils down to
Arguably this could be extended like...
...and later, add an exponent to the Bundeccas (to support those insane
