Would work, but I _really_ don't see the benefit compared to the current
working solution
Counter
Name section
End
Style Section
LabelStyle Counter
LabelCounter section
LabelString "\arabic{section}"
LabelStringAppendix "\Alph{section}"
End
that would pay for the work to implement it. Most notably, your solution
is one line, two words and 43 chars longer than what we already have and
uses one more element of cryptic syntax.

Sure.
