This happen to be some thing in Lua itself:
s = 000123 print(s)
will give 123, so it have to be a string to keep the to the left zeros.

I rewrote the converters.alphabetic() and converters.Alphabetic() so
that it will not expect a number and will just iterate through the given
string, and now \arabicnumerals and its brothers will pass strings to
it.

Also I found that \abjadnumerals were referring to
converters.arabicnumerals witch doesn't exist, I changed it to 
converters.abjadnumerals but there is no converters.abjadnaivenumerals
and I've no idea what it is supposed to do.

See the attached patch and tell me what you think.
