Seems fine.  To me, "n" or "N" would be a better name for the macro, as
that suggests some sort of number, whereas "c" doesn’t really associated
with "counter" to me.  Perhaps it’s just because the syntax looks a lot
like the R combine command...

Are there a lot of cases where it would not be able to just configure how
heading numbers are printed in the backend?
