The 'm' SI prefix is still accepted in various time options, and the 'u'
prefix is still accepted in those options even after your patch, so you
can't really argue that this patch improve consistency.
(eg. -black_min_duration 5ms is still accepted).
So this will surprise nobody that I don't like this patch.

Indeed, removing support for the 'm' prefix alone introduced this bug
and that needs to be fixed.
