Wouldn't it be nice if there is a 'Size' column on 'print' output?

Example:
(parted) p
Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0.000-14324.625 megabytes
Disk label type: msdos
Minor    Start       End        Size    Type      Filesystem  Flags
1          0.031    298.081    298.050  primary   FAT         boot
2        298.081   8032.500   7734.418  extended              
5        298.112   3294.580   2996.468  logical   ntfs        
6       3294.611   4094.692    800.081  logical   ext2        
7       4094.723   6142.038   2047.315  logical   ext2        
8       6142.069   8032.500   1890.430  logical   ext2        
3       8032.500   8158.007    125.507  primary   linux-swap  
4       8158.008  14323.579   6165.571  primary   ext2
