If you like numeral systems, you might be interested in packages that let one do arithmetic using continued fractions: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6158099
Note that our use of D and M for the "Roman numerals" 500 and 1000 is a misinterpretation of their |) and (|).
Can you really argue that this use is a "misinterpretation" and not just the usual evolution of written symbols?
Yes, D and M are letters.
