Version 1.0.1

✨ New Features

• Support for Billion-Scale Numbers

The NumberConverter now supports numbers in the billions (lavitrisa), making it suitable for more complex financial or statistical use cases. (Thanks to @HeriCraft for the PR)

• New Global Helper Function: phanisana_convert_number()

You can now use the global helper function phanisana_convert_number($number) without needing to instantiate the NumberConverter class directly (assuming you’ve set up Composer autoloading properly).
