Roman Numeral Converter

This is just a quick and basic hack to convert Roman numerals to decimal format. In case you're not familiar, here's how these suckers work:

Symbol Value
I 1
V 5
X 10
L 50
C 100
D 500
M 1000

You put them together in combinations. E.g., XIII is 13, XV is 15, and XIV is 14.

Decimal:

Here's the script. It's pretty naive (i.e. it does no validation of the Roman numeral), but it works.
