Thanks Michael,
Sounds like a useful addition.
A suggestion for the sake of keeping opcodes short and easy to remember: maybe
use "numlike" instead of "numericmodechars"? Similarly, for the case of defining
non-letter characters that don't generate a word_reset bit (what we talked about
the other day), maybe the opcode could be named "caplike". Just an idea.
By the way Joseph's explanation of litdigit was not correct I think:

If I understand the code correctly, litdigit has only two purposes (see also
http://snaekobbi.github.io/liblouis-table-spec/#litdigit):
- A character defined as litdigit can be matched with the $D wildcard in
multipass scripts.
- If a character defined as litdigit follows a word defined as joinword, the
space between the word and the litdigit is dropped.
A numsign is inserted before any sequence of digit, decpoint and midnum, so it
has nothing to do with litdigit.
