One thing that would actually be nice for other reasons as well is a version of pg_size_pretty() that lets you specify the output unit, say, as a second argument. Because sometimes you want to compare two tables or something, and tells you one is 3GB and the other is 783MB, which doesn't really help. If I tell it to use 'MB' as the output unit, I could get comparable output.
It is looks like some convert function
pg_size_to(size, unit, [others ... rounding, truncating]) returns numeric
select pg_size_to(1024*1024, 'KB')
