      #   end of the generated number.
      # * <tt>:country_code</tt> - Sets the country code for the phone
      #   number.
      # * <tt>:raise</tt> - If true, raises +InvalidNumberError+ when
      #   the argument is invalid.

      # Pretty prints (formats and approximates) a number in a way it
      # is more readable by humans (eg.: 1200000000 becomes "1.2
      # Billion"). This is useful for numbers that can get very large
      # (and too hard to read).
      #
      # See <tt>number_to_human_size</tt> if you want to print a file
      # size.
      #
      # You can also define you own unit-quantifier names if you want
      # to use other decimal units (eg.: 1500 becomes "1.5
      # kilometers", 0.150 becomes "150 milliliters", etc). You may
      # define a wide range of unit quantifiers, even fractional ones
      # (centi, deci, mili, etc).
      #
      # ==== Options
      #
      # * <tt>:locale</tt> - Sets the locale to be used for formatting
      #   (defaults to current locale).
      # * <tt>:precision</tt> - Sets the precision of the number
      #   (defaults to 3).
      # * <tt>:significant</tt> - If +true+, precision will be the #
      #   of significant_digits. If +false+, the # of fractional
      #   digits (defaults to +true+)
      # * <tt>:separator</tt> - Sets the separator between the
      #   fractional and integer digits (defaults to ".").
      # * <tt>:delimiter</tt> - Sets the thousands delimiter (defaults
      #   to "").
      # * <tt>:strip_insignificant_zeros</tt> - If +true+ removes
      #   insignificant zeros after the decimal separator (defaults to
      #   +true+)
      # * <tt>:units</tt> - A Hash of unit quantifier names. Or a
      #   string containing an i18n scope where to find this hash. It
      #   might have the following keys:
      #   * *integers*: <tt>:unit</tt>, <tt>:ten</tt>,
      #     *<tt>:hundred</tt>, <tt>:thousand</tt>, <tt>:million</tt>,
      #     *<tt>:billion</tt>, <tt>:trillion</tt>,
      #     *<tt>:quadrillion</tt>
      #   * *fractionals*: <tt>:deci</tt>, <tt>:centi</tt>,
      #     *<tt>:mili</tt>, <tt>:micro</tt>, <tt>:nano</tt>,
      #     *<tt>:pico</tt>, <tt>:femto</tt>
      # * <tt>:format</tt> - Sets the format of the output string
      #   (defaults to "%n %u"). The field types are:
      #   * %u - The quantifier (ex.: 'thousand')
      #   * %n - The number
      # * <tt>:raise</tt> - If true, raises +InvalidNumberError+ when
      #   the argument is invalid.

      # ==== Custom Unit Quantifiers
      #
      # You can also use your own custom unit quantifiers:
      #  number_to_human(500000, :units => {:unit => "ml", :thousand => "lt"})  # => "500 lt"
      #
      # If in your I18n locale you have:
      #   distance:
      #     centi:
      #       one: "centimeter"
      #       other: "centimeters"
      #     unit:
      #       one: "meter"
      #       other: "meters"
      #     thousand:
      #       one: "kilometer"
      #       other: "kilometers"
      #     billion: "gazillion-distance"
      #
      # Then you could do:
      #
      #  number_to_human(543934, :units => :distance)                              # => "544 kilometers"
