Bug with Speakup and Dectalk

Here's a clarification to the bug about Speakup not speaking digits.  This
is going out to the entire list, by the way.
The bug involves text where a digit is immediately followed by a letter.  It
doesn't matter if the letter is lower or upper case.  This is known to exist
using a Dectalk Express.  An example.  The text "a9b9c9d9e" is spoken as "a
b c d e".  The text "a9b9cd9e9fgh9i9j9" is spoken as "a b cd e fgh i j9".
Hope this helps!
