If some special syntax is used, then it has to be something really simple,
otherwise people won't do it. Using either #8880 or <8880> as a way of
indicating set numbers would be okay, but anything more and people won't
remember it, or won't bother typing it often enough. Also, any of these
conventions means that older posts won't have the set numbers work as links.
What proportion of four digit numbers are actual sets? If a four digit number
is found which IS a set, then I don't think it would hurt to display it as a
link. If it's not a set, then don't make it a link.
With the set indication methods, (# or <>'s, for example) what should happen
if there is no such set?
