Hello, all! Here's my stone for new hint system!

I'm using vimperator for ~2 months and I'm a vim-user for ~2 years.
And I can say new hint system sucks! Old char hints was exactly under
your fingers: that was in "vim way". New hints don't:
1. New yellow flashing irritates!
2. Numbers instead of chars for links means 10*10=100 links maximum
instead of 26*26=676 for links that could be accessed with two
key-presses. 6 times smaller range! Visit website heavy-loaded with
links and you would see three-digit hints. three key-presses instead
of two means 50% more key-presses. THAT ISN'T VIM WAY at all!
3. Old hints was easy to use and they gave production boost as they
introduced something new nowhere to be seen: you could mark few links
at once, separating them with comma: hh, hj, hk, etc. and then finally
choose what to do with then: t for open them all in new tabs or s to
save and so on. New way is to press f or F for following link/opening
in new tab and then press link number. To open three links in new tabs
its F21, F22, F23 and so on. That's far less convenient.
