Just don't think of 0xA as a latter, since it is not. Anyway,
internally devotee uses numbers starting at 1 for the ranking as well
as the options on the ballot. I am not personally interested in
changing any one of these defaults -- I don't think the ballot is
confusing enough to warrant the expenditure of effort to refactor it
in this fashion.

The directive says do not delete any line in the ballot --
but reordering is fine, as long as each choice remains on a line by
itself. Changing the line itself, beyond adding a numerical rank
(base36 number, that is) in between the square brackets will
invalidate the ballot.
