Rather than putting range on each parameter on every sub-page of tc man
page. Why not put something in tc.8 under UNITS.
The following implies everything is floating-point which it isn't:
UNITS
All parameters accept a floating point number, possibly followed by a
unit.
I would like this section broken down to cover all the generic types
PARAMETERS
RATES
TIMES
SIZES
VALUES
Also needs to explain IEC units here.
