Ugh.  So, if the national digit for 11 is X, then the base-34 alphabet
is 0123456789XBCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVW_, where _ is a value that's
impossible to represent.  This gets potentially ugly quickly.

Is there a standard for base-N representations when there are M national
numbers and M < N?  There's the defacto of the US-ASCII alphabet when
M = 10 and 11 <= N <= 36, but if M != 10 I don't know what to do.

  Bill
