The only solution would be to change the limit back to 6 decimal digits, which I think would be for the best.
STRONGLY disagree. And I really hope you're not basing this conclusion on someone trying to abuse $bytes.
This will be changed back to 6 digits in the next version.
Please don't.
This is not the way I would hope for it to go.. I would prefer if there was another workaround..
But, are you suggesting I am abusing $bytes(), and if so, how?
