I think it's worth mentioning that if the implementation supports
exciting beyond-ASCII (not just Unicode) digits, their numeric value (as
defined in whatever standard defines the character set, such as the
Unicode numeric value proprety) needs to be supported by the
implementation, for consistency.

I'm ambivalent about digit-value in WG1; certainly it needs to exist in
some form as part of a WG2 "character properties" thingy if it's not in
WG1. char-numeric? certainly seems to be of limited use without it, but
is the char-numeric?/digit-value pair actually useful at all in the
scope of WG1, given string->number?
