Just to clarify. The new \hyphenateddigits means that witha couple of tightly packed columns of footnotes it is nowpossible to break a textual reference such as this acrosstwo lines. ({\it Ṛgveda}~\hyphenateddigits{1.114.10}) This is just great, and I can see it being used reasonablyoften.

I'll add support for: \starttext \hsize6cm \pi\ = \hyphenateddigits[\unknown]{3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971 69399375105} \blank \pi\ = \hyphenateddigits{3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510 5} \blank x $\pi = \hyphenateddigits[\unknown]{3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971 69399375105}$ \blank x $\pi = \hyphenateddigits{3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510 5}$ \blank \stoptext A quick and dirty hack as we don't need some full blown mechanism for such a rare case.
