Just popped in my head - maybe some kind of format-string type of thing
might make sense here .. e.g:

VMSTAT_IOFMT="%k %t %R %W" -> KB/t tps MBs/r, MBs/w

with the default being set to whatever, and some sort of
'convention' r.e. what upper case vs lower case means
to make it intuitive..

no patch in attachments - sorry guys :)
