No. Look at \'anick for example (poor \'anick :)

I had once toyed with roman numbers for a local perlgolf, and remembered
that there were already some solutions out there, which I quickly found
via google.

I feel stupid for not realizing that the s/\w+/${$&}/ was optimizable.
But then, I only had half a day to spend on the golf.

Thanks for the game!
