* When turned on, this attribute makes

*
* This is a way to get '100' to sort AFTER '2'. Note that the longest
* digit substring that can be treated as a single collation element is
* digit substring that can be treated as a single unit is
* 254 digits (not counting leading zeros). If a digit substring is
* longer than that, the digits beyond the limit will be treated as a
* separate digit substring associated with a separate collation element.
* separate digit substring.
*
* A "digit" in this sense is a code point with General_Category=Nd,
* which does not include circled numbers, roman numerals, etc.
* Only a contiguous digit substring is considered, that is,
* non-negative integers without separators.
* There is no support for plus/minus signs, decimals, exponents, etc.
