It is good enough, but not for this case. It's not a problem to write a
conversion function, I can do (and I already did)it myself. But, for
example, if I need to store different time formats choosed by users,
the formats with Arabic months' numbers I can store just a parametter
for those functions, but for Roman monnt's numbers I need an additional
conversion function. I think, it is better to integrate such possibility
in "date", "strftime" and similar functions. It is the sense of these
functions to have an ability to output the date in any popular format,
and the months output with Roman numbers is popular enough to be
included.

Isn't http://pear.php.net/package/Numbers_Roman good enough for you?
Another argument would be, that strftime is modelled after the
c-function.

Description:
------------
 Why functions "date", "strftime" and similars does not support months
numbers output in Roman numbers? (For example, "VII" for July.) Many
nations use it as the one of or even the main month writing format, and
it would be just normal that you add such formatting possibility.
