No. Make it pluggable already :)

For example, the Acme::Numbers::Plugin::Currency plugin might
declare to handle things like

     print four.dollars.fifty.cents.in.eur."\n";  # prints "3.16"
     print four.euro.fifty.cents.in.dollars."\n";  # prints "6.55"

via a trip to the nearest currency converter, or just transform it into
a Google query for "4.55 usd in eur".

Just an idea (/me whistles innocently).
