 The numerals for 4 (IV) and 9 (IX) are written using subtractive notation,where the smaller symbol (I) is subtracted from the larger one (V, or X), thus avoiding the clumsier IIII and VIIII. Subtractive notation is also used for 40 (XL), 90 (XC), 400 (CD) and 900 (CM). These are the only subtractive forms in standard use.

 While it handles both additive and subtractive Roman numerals, it doesn't check that they're properly formatted. For instance 'IC' should be a compile-time error but instead it'll generate 101 as if nothing of consequence happened.
