    // * Spellout rules for French.  French adds some interesting quirks of its
    // * own: 1) The word "et" is interposed between the tens and ones digits,
    // * but only if the ones digit if 1: 20 is "vingt," and 2 is "vingt-deux,"
    // * but 21 is "vingt-et-un."  2)  There are no words for 70, 80, or 90.
    // * "quatre-vingts" ("four twenties") is used for 80, and values proceed
    // * by score from 60 to 99 (e.g., 73 is "soixante-treize" ["sixty-thirteen"]).
    // * Numbers from 1,100 to 1,199 are rendered as hundreds rather than
    // * thousands: 1,100 is "onze cents" ("eleven hundred"), rather than
    // * "mille cent" ("one thousand one hundred")
