The way to do that is the way we've done it for the spin button, 
with the input/output signals that let you substitute your own text
for each value. Then it's extensible. I think we're sort of in "punt

I'm not sure about those, certainly one of those "hard to say" UI
questions. ;-)

All these things are worth sticking in bugzilla, anyhow, so they don't
get lost.
