@glitzersachen @loke @amszmidt Ironically, I actually like loop. I rarely use it, but there are some things for which it is quick and easy to use. It is certainly easy to read and that is a key selling point.
But format should be able to convert a Roman Numeral (of either style) into binary with the same ease it can do the other way around. It seems like an obvious thing to do since it's the only missing conversation (radix) in one direction only.
