Maybe I should make myself clearer. I find it very inelegant to write 
something like:
function conversion(rm: roman_digit) return character is
begin
    case rm is
        when 'I' => retunrn 'I';
        when 'V'=>retrun 'V';
and so on, and then to construct a routine for conversion of a roman number 
to a string using the function. Is there any better way?
