It *would* make a lot of sense if we didn't constantly use "x" to mean
something else (i.e. an unimportant spot card).  However, if someone
starts using V instead of 5, I'm giving up.  That one would be
multiply confusing---with the Dutch use of V for "queen", with the
French use of V for "jack", and with the English use of the letter to
tell the French what they think of them.........
