As long as we're talking about changes to dm, here are some suggestions that
I would like to see implemented.

I would really like to be able to enter hex numbers into a "text entry" object
for things that require numbers but I don't see any way to do it.  Could dm
be modified to interpret numbers with a leading "0x", "0X" or trailing "x" or 
"X" as hexadecimal numbers?  I include the last two choices only to be 
consistent with the way dm displays hex numbers with "text update" objects.

I find that in some cases undesired behavior is produced when continuously 
updating the .VAL field with a changing valuator.  I realize that this behavior
can be changed with the menu on the live valuator, but I would rather like to
be able to set the defaults in this menu with edd when the valuator is created
or modified.
