The plan is to use the new NatNum12 feature to support genders and other
functions in custom or predefined number formats:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/6.1#New_.E2.80.9Cspell_out.E2.80.9D_NatNum_modifier

Moreover, it will be possible to use dozens of suffix functions for
agglutinative languages with vowel harmony (ie. word-dependent suffix
variants), like Estonian, Finnish and Hungarian, see

https://github.com/Numbertext/libnumbertext/commit/cbcc8bbcb63964e4831ee611b22cbaca1f415817

and adding dozens of predefined date formats to the locale files to support
all date variants used in templates and mail merge in these languages (for
example, for Hungarian: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/55637/)

Unfortunately, this is the fallback of the feature, when libnumbertext is
not available.
