Just for verification: an increment of "0xff" will therefore result in 256 and not "0xfg". Correct? > final alphanumeric sequence in the string.

Or should the spec limit itself to [A-Za-z0-9]+ here? If we include non-ASCII alphanumerics, then incrementing something like "résumé" produces "résumf" ? Pm
