roman-literals

roman-literals provides an easy way to write integer literals using Roman numerals.

Features

• Supports all integers from I to MMMCMXCIX (1 to 3999)
• Type inference with the [roman!] macro
• Zero cost!

Usage

• Type aliases like [iXXXII] are provided to replace primitive types like [i32].

• Using the [roman!] macro, the type of the literal is automatically inferred, with [iXXXII] being the default. The macro also supports negative numbers; see [roman!] for more details.

• Constants are also provided, such as III_uXXXII. These constants are all suffixed with their type. See the [consts] module for more details.

Examples

```rust use roman_literals::*; // roman! macro and type aliases

let fortytwo: uXXXII = roman!(XLII); asserteq!(forty_two, 42);

let negative3999: iXVI = roman!(-MMMCMXCIX); asserteq!(negative_3999, -3999);

use roman_literals::consts::*; // to get the constants

let negative300 = -CCCiLXIV; // i64 asserteq!(negative300, -300); ```
