What's with the 89? And the other semi-magic numbers? If we fear about
non-arabic number formatting, at least in French French the worst
offender may be quatre-vingt-quatorze ("four score and fourteen") or
quatre-vingt-dix-neuf ("four score and nineteen"), namely 94 or 99. But
I think it's improbable to get worded formatting here anyway. Or are
those the largest values with their respective granularity?
