BDFL Pronouncement
This PEP is rejected. While the majority of Python users deemed this
to be a nice-to-have feature, the community was unable to reach a
concensus on whether nine should be represented as IX, the modern
form, or VIIII, the classic form. Likewise, no agreement was
reached on whether MXM or MCMXC would be considered a well-formed
representation of 1990. A vocal minority of users has also requested
support for lower-cased numerals for use in (i) powerpoint slides,
(ii) academic work, and (iii) Perl documentation.
