+        * doc/coreutils.texi (split invocation):
+       Add -d or --numeric-suffixes option to 'split'.
+        From a suggestion by Jesse Kornblum.
+       * src/split.c (suffix_alphabet): New var.
+        (longopts, usage, next_file_name, main): Support -d.
+        (next_file_name, main): Allow -a0, as POSIX requires.
+        (next_file_name): Don't assume ASCII-like encoding;
+       'a' through 'z' are not contiguous in EBCDIC.
