The problems with pabu / pa'y are:

   - They almost double the length of all character strings that are heavy 
   in digits, e.g. my date system and Pierre's coordinate system.
   - As for numeral/number distinction... the problem is that that very 
   distinction is often hazy. Take for example the name of the game TIS-100 
   <http://www.zachtronics.com/tis-100/>; do those numbers actually mean 
   "one hundred", or are they just an arbitrary string of numerals?
