This seems a bit of a hack to me as:

* the ability of the footnotes themselves (as opposed to the superscript links)
to be in any form other than decimal is in a template not in the extension.

* we have customised Mediawiki: pages on Wikipedia for entirely predictable
patterns which could not be changed in any sensible fashion: ie surely
lower-roman should always be lower case Roman numerals. I can't see nay of the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Cite_link_label_group-* being any way
different from how they are now. (Except for error-test.)

* the current configuration allows for this weirdness:

What would be wrong with hard-coding support for lower-alpha, upper-alpha,
lower-roman, and upper-roman?
