That’s a neat hack that might come in handy at some point. However, it
changes the bullet point to letters for /all/ ordered lists in the
document, not just for those that use letters in the org source.
I think this shows that it’s indeed too difficult to make lists with
letters although such lists are fairly common and even standard in some
areas. A small change in the exporters could solve this issue and make
Org mode more useful. I don’t see any downsides.
