Thanks, Ashwin!
Manoj, thanks for bringing up this need. It won't make it into this round
of prioritization, but it can be added to the backlog. I would happily
create a Phabricator ticket on your behalf, but I need to better understand
the need you describe. Where would you like to use Indic numerals,
exactly? In template parameters, for example? (i.e. instead of the 1 and 2
in: {{some_template|1=this|2=that}}?)
Could you give some examples of what you meant?
Thanks,
A.
