! DESCRIPTION
! -----------
! The rules for writing Roman numerals allow for many ways of writing
! each number (see FAQ: Roman Numerals). However, there is always a
! "best" way of writing a particular number.
! For example, the following represent all of the legitimate ways of
! writing the number sixteen:
! IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
! VIIIIIIIIIII
! VVIIIIII
! XIIIIII
! VVVI
! XVI
! The last example being considered the most efficient, as it uses
! the least number of numerals.
! The 11K text file, roman.txt (right click and 'Save Link/Target As...'),
! contains one thousand numbers written in valid, but not necessarily
! minimal, Roman numerals; that is, they are arranged in descending units
! and obey the subtractive pair rule (see FAQ for the definitive rules
! for this problem).
! Find the number of characters saved by writing each of these in their minimal form.
