Unfortunately, there's no real way around it.  One can add numbers as a
hard dependency to scsh-process, but if you follow that logic, you would
end up having to add it as a dependency to EVERY EGG EVER.

This is the disadvantage of having extended numbers bolted on, and the
main reason I wanted them in core.
