#
# number -- Returns Roman or alphabetic equivalent numerals
#
# This proc is useful with electricAlias definitions as follows:
#
# electricAlias def •Text •i "§«set item 1; number \$item i»."
# electricAlias def •Text •ii "§«incr item; number \$item i». "
# electricAlias def •Text •I "§«set item 1; number \$item I»."
# electricAlias def •Text •II "§«incr item; number \$item I». "
# electricAlias def •Text •a "§«set item 1; number \$item a»."
# electricAlias def •Text •aa "§«incr item; number \$item a». "
# electricAlias def •Text •A "§«set item 1; number \$item A»."
# electricAlias def •Text •AA "§«incr item; number \$item A». "
#
# USAGE:
#
# number VALUE STYLE
#
# WHERE:
#
# VALUE = positive whole number 1.. (Roman limited to 9999)
# STYLE = a|alpha|alphabetic|i|roman|A|ALPHA|ALPHABETIC|I|ROMAN
#
# EXAMPLE:
#
# [number 1992 ROMAN] returns "MCMXCII"
