So, if they're both special cases, which is more common? People who
might have 007 movies or l337-speak filenames or might prefix a 0 to a
number to get it first (which is a concept even many of my non-technical
friends have been trained to expect to work just because of ASCII sort
in enough things, so they'll thrown on a zero and IF that doesn't work
try something else, but the file rename in Rockbox is something we
shouldn't expect people to be willing to use multiple times per file),
or people who create mix folders on their PC that just happen to be in
right-enough order that they don't have to rename their occasional mixed
numbered filename?
