[00:42:36] <wm-bb>	 <u99of9> Suggestion for Volunteer's corner: To improve our generic numeric reader functions like Z14304, especially their coverage of non-western scripts like Z22026, it would help to have a string function which just does (base 10) digit replacement from as many scripts as possible to Western Arabic numerals. This could be used to first-process ("normalise") the strings as
[00:42:36] <wm-bb>	 they arrive i <clipped message>
[00:42:36] <wm-bb>	 <u99of9> nto reader functions. Although this could be done on a script-by-script basis, it would work better for reader/parsers if it could just be called once by an all-in-one function. The main work here is to compile and concatenate lists of equivalent digit character sets. Then for a composition Z14613 can be used.
[00:43:45] <wm-bb>	 <u99of9> @wikilinksbot seems to have given up on ZIDs?
[01:13:07] <wm-bb>	 <Al> Z14304, for example? (re @u99of9: @wikilinksbot seems to have given up on ZIDs?)

[01:14:14] <wm-bb>	 <Al> Slow, but it got there… 🤷‍♂️ (re @Al: Z14304, for example?)
[21:44:53] <wm-bb>	 <Feeglgeef> I'd much prefer a NLG function, like Z22015 or Z21765 (re @u99of9: Suggestion for Volunteer's corner: To improve our generic numeric reader functions like Z14304, especially their coverage of non...)
