Since the behaviour is to keep numbering the entries after the last one, if you do: set -g choice-characters "1 3 0 9 2" amd then look at, say, choose-tree, you'll find the sequence very strange indeed. Not to mention you cannot guarantee, even with the ordering here, that you'll never get duplicate entries, making the entire point of pressing a letter to go to a key-binding redundant.
Yes, with only 5 characters you can hit the duplicates very fast, however, with the default value you should hit it after 62 windows, so there is a limit anyways.
I currently use this set -g choice-characters 'qwerasdfzxcv123~[]\;/=-l,.hjkiopnm'
So, yes, it is necessary to set this higher to avoid duplicates.
Hmm... so I wonder now, whether this is worth it. The assignment of letters and numbers here, to denote the items which you can select with a key-binding is always deterministic, and if you go beyond the default, then you're prompted for selection anyway. Why is this patch useful to you, out of interest?
I like to use alphabets to choose windows (since I do so in other environments like pentadactyl -- using letters for hints), it is just out of habit - others may have their own preferences.
