postgresql-numeral
==================
Christoph Berg
**postgresql-numeral** provides numeric data types for PostgreSQL that use
numerals (words instead of digits) for input and output.
Data types:
* *numeral*: English numerals (one, two, three, four, ...), short scale (10⁹ = billion)
* *zahl*: German numerals (eins, zwei, drei, vier, ...), long scale (10⁹ = Milliarde)
* *roman*: Roman numerals (I, II, III, IV, ...)
Requires PostgreSQL >= 9.4 (currently up to 13) and Bison 3.

Examples
--------
```
# SELECT 'thirty'::numeral + 'twelve'::numeral as sum;
sum
───────────
forty-two
# SELECT 'siebzehn'::zahl * 'dreiundzwanzig' AS "Produkt";
Produkt
──────────────────────────
dreihunderteinundneunzig
# SELECT 'MCMLV'::roman + 'II'::roman * 'XXX' AS futurum;
futurum
─────────
MMXV
```
Implementation
--------------
The data types are internally binary compatible to *bigint*. Casts to and from
bigint are defined (to bigint as *implicit*). The module does not implement
any operators but instead reuses the existing bigint operators. Effectively,
the data types behave like bigint, just with different input/output functions.
