Is there an option to display in bits instead of bytes?

Yes, there is. The `bits` option allows you to format the number as bits instead of bytes.

From the API documentation [readme.md:L59-L72], the `bits` option:

- **Type:** `boolean`
- **Default:** `false`
- **Purpose:** Format the number as bits instead of bytes. This can be useful when referring to bit rate.

**Example usage:**
```js
prettyBytes(1337, {bits: true});
//=> '1.34 kbit'
```

When you set `bits: true`, the library uses different unit arrays. Looking at the implementation [index.js:L6-L37], there are separate unit definitions: `BIT_UNITS` for standard bit formatting and `BIBIT_UNITS` for binary bit formatting. The main function selects the appropriate units based on the `bits` and `binary` options [index.js:L137-L140].
