[fpc-pascal] Re: StrUtils.RomanToInt oddities

[Bart]

And please, before anyone gets offended by my postings in this thread:

- I just stubled on this whils doing a kind WTF implementation of
something like this (and at that time I didn't even knew we had
StrUtils.RomanToInt).
- I don't think it is the end of the world just because the StrUtils
version behaves different than I expected it to.
- I do not want to pretend my interpretation of "valid Roman numeral"
is the absolute truth.

I was just curious as to the why?

I have my own interpretation (in code), so if fpc's stays as is, no
problem whatsoever.
It (my version) is LGPL, so anyone can use and or contribute.

Sometimes I just like having these kind of discussions...
