/**
 * This class allows you to convert from Roman numerals to natural numbers and vice versa.
 * I decided to do this as a fun challenge after reading http://thedailywtf.com/articles/Roman-Enumeration
 * Took me about 30 minutes to come up with, research and code the solution.
 * It can convert numbers up to 3,999,999 because I couldn't find any numerals for 5,000,000 above.
 * Due to my inability to get the correct accented characters 5000 above, I resulted to using the pipe (|) to represent accent.
