Thanks, but isn't it better to simply use numbers longer than one
digit?  E.g., if the number of choices is more than 10, use 00, 01,
etc.; if the number of choices is more than 100, use 000, 001,
etc., and so on and so forth?  Bonus points for being able to support
responses like 1 and 10 when the number of choices is more than 100
(but this is a nicety, not really required IMO).

I just cannot imagine anyone in the need for customizing this.
