    // * Spellout rules for Spanish.  The Spanish rules are quite similar to
    // * the English rules, but there are some important differences:
    // * First, we have to provide separate rules for most of the twenties
    // * because the ones digit frequently picks up an accent mark that it
    // * doesn't have when standing alone.  Second, each multiple of 100 has
    // * to be specified separately because the multiplier on 100 very often
    // * changes form in the contraction: 500 is "quinientos," not
    // * "cincocientos."  In addition, the word for 100 is "cien" when
    // * standing alone, but changes to "ciento" when followed by more digits.
    // * There also some other differences.

    // The Spanish rules are incomplete.  I'm missing information on negative
    // numbers and numbers with fractional parts.  I also don't have
    // information on numbers higher than the millions.
