[htdig-dev] allow_numbers

[Lachlan A. <lh...@us...>]

Greetings all,

On reflection, I think the behaviour that seems to have been intended=20
is better.  I've filed a bug report (with patch) to implement:

1. If allow_numbers is false, words must contain at least one=20
non-digit (2001 not a word, X11 is).
2. If allow_numbers is true, digits are equivalent to letters.

Comments/testing welcome.

Cheers,
Lachlan
