Okay, so at least when it comes to LaTeX 26 items are the limit.  I
have the feeling to remember that there was something with letters as
numbered lists that made me skip the idea, but can't remember :|

I'l see if it will work out and if no one else sees a problem provide
a patch.

No, not yet.  Although sometimes I would like have single letter
lists.



The question would be:  What to do when we reach z)?


Simply print out a message saying we have reached maximum
number of items possible?  I guess usually we don't need to
count to 'z' for such kind of lists.

Aloha all,

Here is an error message raised with a 27 item list in LaTeX:

ERROR: LaTeX Error: Counter too large.

--- TeX said ---

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H   for immediate help.
 ...

l.31 \item ?

--- HELP ---
1. Some object that is numbered with letters, probably an item in a
enumerated list, has received a number greater than 26. Either you're
making a very long list or you've been resetting counter values.

2. Footnotes are being ``numbered'' with letters or footnote symbols
and LaTeX has run out of letters or symbols. This is probably caused
by too many \thanks commands.

All the best,
Tom

Simply print out a message saying we have reached maximum
number of items possible?  I guess usually we don't need to
count to 'z' for such kind of lists.

No, not yet.  Although sometimes I would like have single letter
lists.

The question would be:  What to do when we reach z)?
