Proposed Changes

The documentation for the ModelBay model describes the position field as such:

The numeric position in which this module bay is situated. For example, this would be the number assigned to a slot within a chassis-based switch.

A reader might misinterpret the word "numeric" to mean only integers are permitted in this field, when in fact, any string is permitted.

This is in fact useful when modelling devices such as the HPE ProCurve 5400 series chassis-based switches that label their module slots as A, B, C, etc.

Therefore I suggest substituting the word "alphanumeric" for "numeric", to avoid confusion.
