See also my previous reply to Zolnai where I mentioned NumericBox and
the NumericFormatter used for control fields.

The right place to extend functionality for native numbers is there.

I think "All" could be mapped in this case to the maximum allowed value,
couldn't it?

No, I don't think we should. IMHO there is no real reason to reject
ASCII digits. Which btw is also how numeric input in Calc is treated,
both ASCII and native numbers are allowed.
