The discussion strictly sets a limit of 31 for the largest number of days in
a month and asks for suffixes used to make ordinal numbers like 31st.
But in reality, you can go to 99th and beyond for other purposes albeit the
pattern for making 101 and on seems to repeat.

When a client demanded his way on this issue, the action we took was, as
below, to create a list (called ordinal) and to use the dd (day) value
as an index.

Try replacing the list with a tuple. Also, read up on immutable v mutable
types and dictionary keys for a bit of background on why a list won't work.

This is the C code.

case 2: case 22:
