Hi David,

  When hints_auto_exit_delay is 0, no auto-exit is supposed to happen at
all, as it says in the docstring.  If that is broken, there must be a
deeper bug involved in the handling of the variable
hints_minibuffer_state.auto_exit.

  I'm also noticing the strange ways in which hints_auto_exit_delay and
hints_ambiguous_auto_exit_delay are getting passed around in hints.js,
with separate handling of number keys (hints-handle-number command)
vs. other characters (hints_minibuffer_state.handle_input).

  I think this calls for a deeper refactoring, possibly removing the
command hints-handle-number.

  Thoughts?
