Certainly, but this still means that any 27+ items list will never be
able to complete a full bullet cycle as the user will have to undo
each time alphabetical bullets are reached. It could perhaps start
again at letter 'a'...

I wouldn't object against it as some people are finding it useful and
as it won't be turned on by default (if I remember correctly).

But I can't help thinking this could lead to unexpected results in
some cases (admittedly less than when alpha bullets could be any size
long).
