But this nomenclature is not often used with a 0 as first digit (at least
not outside the US, where it's quite common with caps). You don't see 0M22
resistors, you see 220k resistors. (BTW, not always a good idea to use only
the decimal multiplier... :) 

In that sense, the 0R1 resistor would be a 100mR resistor, and the 0F1 cap
a 100mF cap.
