> historical baggage (the standard has mandated Roman literals in formating, really guys?..)

I did a code golf competition in college once where we could pick whatever language we wanted per problem. One problem was to format a number as a Roman numeral, and of course I won that one by just calling the built in Lisp function. Good times.
