Just to clarify. The new \hyphenateddigits means that with
a couple of tightly packed columns of footnotes it is now
possible to break a textual reference such as this across
two lines.
({\it Ṛgveda}~\hyphenateddigits{1.114.10})
This is just great, and I can see it being used reasonably
often.

Thank you for this Hans, its going to be very useful for
breaking bibliographic refs including manuscript or
inscription codes in two column mode.
Best, Richard

I'll add support for:
\starttext
\hsize6cm
\pi\ =
\hyphenateddigits[\unknown]{3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105}
\blank
\pi\ =
\hyphenateddigits{3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105}
\blank
x $\pi =
\hyphenateddigits[\unknown]{3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105}$
\blank
x $\pi =
\hyphenateddigits{3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105}$
\blank
\stoptext
A quick and dirty hack as we don't need some full blown mechanism for
such a rare case.
