Description
LinkHints does not honor lower case even if you specify them in the "Characters used
for link hints" option page.
I think the "linkHintNumbers = Settings.get("linkHintNumbers").toUpperCase();" in "function FilterHints" should not exist. If user specified lower case in the "Characters used
for link hints" option page, it's reasonable to assume they know what they are doing.

Research direction
Start at the FilterHints function and inspect how Settings.get("linkHintNumbers") is transformed when link hints are generated. Verify the behavior with lowercase characters configured in the "Characters used for link hints" option; done means those lowercase characters are honored rather than converted to uppercase.
