I'm on vacation (but too ill to do much besides alternate sleep & email
<snarl>), and I'm not sure we have clear rules about how votes from
commercial Python developers count when made on their own time. Perhaps a
meta-PEP first to resolve that issue?
Oh, all right, just speaking for myself, I'm +1 on The Ping of Death's name
suggestion provided this function is needed at all. But not being a Unicode
Guy by nature, I have no opinion on whether the function *is* needed (I
understand how digits work in American English, and ord(ch)-ord('0') is the
limit of my experience; can't say whether even the current .numeric() is
useful for Klingons or Lawyers or whoever it is who expects to get a numeric
value out of a character for 1/2 or 1/3).
