Can we lose the parentheses?

Doesn't that look better inside the switch/case?
	default: return MB_SHIFT;

strtoull does not clear errno if it succeeds, so it retains the
previous error value. So we would need to set errno to 0 just before
calling strtoull.

Does 0 hold any significant value (anymore)? I think we die() if we
encounter invalid values in parse_mem_option()?
