This bug is a replacement of bug #22735(24.3; org-set-effort *without* numeric prefix - still forces me to use nth allowed).  After more experimentation, I got a better understanding of the functionality and now consider that bug 22735 to be invalid as written.  I now think it's a more fundamental issue of not handling an Effort_ALL with more than 10 entries.  The problems manifest in both interactive org-set-effort and in column view when editing values via direct index selection.

Problems:

  1) interactive org-set-effort

     1) can not enter an index > 10

     2) method of entering a raw value is arcane and unvalidated

        - by prefixing the entered value by '-', you can enter one of the Effort_ALL string directly

          - e.g. Effort_ALL 0 1h 2h 4h 1d 2d 3d 4d 1w 2w 3w 4w

          - 'C-c C-x e -4w RET' sets Effort to '4w'

          - however, a value of '-foobar' sets Effort to 'foobar'

     3) Note: org-set-effort with numerical prefix works properly for indices > 10

  2) column view - editing values

     1) 1-9,0 - can not enter an index > 10

        - lower priority than 1.1 above since column view edit 'e' allows direct entry of Effort_ALL strings (with validation)

     2) Note: S-left/right, n, p work properly for indices > 10

Proposed solution:

  - interactive org-set-effort and column view direct index selection

    - input multiple characters followed by RET

    - if input is a valid index, use the corresponding value from Effort_ALL

    - else if input is a valid Effort_ALL value, use it

    - else beep and display [No Match] (like column view edit when an invalid value is entered)
