The Decimator, 2.0

A little while ago, I wrote about the woes of dealing with numbers in Japanese notation.  Since I never let an opportunity to procrastinate to pass me by, I also posted a brief JavaScript (The Decimator™) to help deal with the confusion.  A friend of mine pointed out that it doesn't help with some use cases, such as 千5百万 (that's 15 million, but you knew that, right?).  And thus another opportunity to procrastinate presented itself, and now, I give you the Decimator™, 2.0:

It accepts free text input, and handles both traditional (Kanji only) and mixed (Arabic numerals plus Kanji) numbers.  Feel free to give it a whirl.
