BTW, I want to put the string_uint() macro in a common header now. It
can be used for other types. I've written a SortSupport + abbreviated
keys patch for the UUID type which will use it, too, so that it too
can use simple unsigned integer comparisons within its abbreviated
comparator. I haven't posted the UUID patch yet only because everyone
is up to their ears in my sorting patches.
