Note: if we were to use a lower threshold for number-letter confusability (e.g. to support handwritten passwords), we'd be restricted to a very small subset of digits, as we'd rule out (besides 0 and 1 mentioned above):

2/Z
5/S
6/G
8/B
9/g

leaving us with only 3, 4 and 7, which would defeat the purpose of including this class of symbols anyway.
