When digit becomes digits it is not enough.
However I've understood Derek to say that N is just a sequence number
and [digit for Drupalcorenumber][digit for branchnumber][two digits for
sequence] is a convention that isn't enforced by code. So
mymod_update_1 is sufficient for the update script to find my update.
The documentation doesn't state that though; so this exercise wasn't a
waste of time because at least now it is documented in the list
archives.
