dehumanize_number(3) comes from NetBSD and it's declared in <stdlib.h>.
It's provided because projects with NetBSD origins might use it, so its
inclusion is intentional, the code duplication is not, but I've fixed
this now locally by switching dehumanize_number(3) to be a strong alias
to expand_number(3), which seemed to be more complete.

This will be included in my next push targetting 0.5.x.

Thanks,
