-Description: A module for managing integer and Roman
- It provides functions for checking if a string is a valid Roman
- numeral, as well as for converting between Roman and integers
- .
- The module also support Milhar algarisms, which extends the Roman
- numeration system up to 4,002,999.

+Description: Allows conversion between Roman and Arabic algarisms
+ This package supports both conventional Roman algarisms (which range
+ from 1 to 3999) and Milhar Romans, a variation which uses a bar
+ across the algarism to indicate multiplication by 1_000. For the
+ purposes of this module, acceptable syntax consists of an underscore
+ suffixed to the algarism e.g. IV_V = 4_005. The term Milhar
+ apparently derives from the Portuguese word for "thousands" and the
+ range of this notation extends the range of Roman numbers to 3999 *
+ 1000 + 3999 = 4_002_999.
