Japanize

Simple library to calculate numbers in Japanese

Usage

Since there is no practical use of this (and doing massive pollution of global area), I better not to put this on rubygems.org. Just play at your own risk.

[japanize (master)]$ rake install japanize
japanize 0.0.1 built to pkg/japanize-0.0.1.gem
japanize (0.0.1) installed

[japanize (master)]$ gem list japanize

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

japanize (0.0.1)
[japanize (master)]$ irb
ruby-1.9.2-p0 > require 'japanize'
=> true 
ruby-1.9.2-p0 > １に２をたして４を掛ける
=> 12
