Hello Jeff!

Nice idea, this change seems useful to me. I tried using it during parts 
of a game, and it seems sane. Any objection to this change from anyone?

Are there other ways of displaying this information? When you double click 
on a square, you get a number-selection-widget, which could also disable 
numbers which you're finished dealing with.

But then again, I'm sceptical to automating too much of the game-play.
Have you seen "Solve Sudoku (Without even thinking!)":
