Where can I see those?  Maybe there is no such data in finland.osm yet.

I tested the patch, and it looks like r984 is the most visible change
since the pre-r984 patch I tried: the motorway exits are numbered and
highlighted even at low zoom levels.

I can search for "4" but there is no "E 75".  Can you please also map int_ref?

When I search for "14", the list will only show "14", not "140".  Searching
for "140" returns the road with ref=140.

When it comes to joining roads, it would be good not to join long roads
(several hundred kilometers), such as the 140.  Now the list of matches
will display useful information: which section of the ref=140 I want to
go to.  You could implement it so that road sections are joined when both
sections are in the same "city".
