However, they also read them R->L, so the most significant digits are
still read first. I guess that's big-endian... (NB : the european-"arab"
digit glyphs were quite altered from the original arab models during the
late Medieval period)
In order to solve all debates in /proc, I propose we use classic Roman
numerals for everything, including unpacked IP addresses ("classic" as
opposed to the many Medieval variations)
