Hi again. I've noticed \hyphenateddigits fails with alphabetical symbols,
e.g. with hexadecimal numbers. Maybe there's a better solution, but
something like

--From phys-dim.lua
    actions   = function(filler, digits)
        digits = gsub(digits,"(%d)","%1\\digitsbreak ") --space added.
Would a "\relax " do better?
        digits = gsub(digits,"\\-$",filler)
        context(digits)
    end

would fix it.

Best regards,

Jairo
