Hi all,

  I just pushed a new feature to the hinting system, allowing you to use
characters other than 1-9,0 for hint numbers.  This has been requested
many times over the past few years but it was only recently that I figured
out how it could be done elegantly and efficiently.  To change the
counting system used by hinting, do something like the following:

  hint_digits="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";

The first character in the string represents 0, the next 1, and so on, and
counting is done in the numeric base of the length of the string.  To go
back to the default base 10:

  hint_digits=null;

The character '0' still always represents the number 0, and will be
translated into the counting system in effect.  This was done because of
its special meaning within the hinting system to select the top document
of the buffer.  So sequences like 'c 0' still work, even when another
counting system is in effect.  (And with the example counting system I
gave earlier, 'c a' would be equivalent to 'c 0'.)

Have fun with it.  :)
