At least they did implement detailed rules for representation of numbers as text in boxes. A set of number/text conversion rules for storage may not in itself be more complicated. But you'd need two conversion methods, one for representation and one for storage, both fairly detailed. I would expect that Mathieu Bouchard could have proposed improvements in this field. I had a quick look into desiredata, but can't find files m_atom.c, g_numbox.c etc. Seems it all went into a big blob desiredata.c.
