Could this be used to alter numeric sort a little? The point is to
have numbers be ordered *after* letters, not *before* letters. Example

# a=( "aaa" "aeg" "aa1" "ae2" )
# echo ${(on)a[@]}
aa1 aaa ae2 aeg

This places "1" before "a" (1 < a) and "2" before "g" (2 < g). With
this reversed, the result would be:

aaa aa1 aeg ae2

So now a < 1 and g < 2.
