Or you can do the opposite and require special markup around the number to be
considered a set # for automatic linking.  Some ideas:

I'd really like to my hands on a set:5952-2: soon!
I'd really like to my hands on a <SET>5952-2</SET> soon!

This may defeat the main reason for the autolinking though: ease of set viewing
even if the author forgets to link the set number(s) in the post.
