Re: [predefined-counter-styles] Should we add more Latin counter styles?

I’m German. German uses the Latin alphabet plus the additional letters
 _ä_, _ö_, _ü_ and _ß_. But I’ve never seen a list using these 
additional letters as list counters in practice.

The only thing that I can think of are glossaries and indexes in a 
book. Those are often sorted and you might find the additional letters
 in there (though _ä_ is often sorted as _ae_ or  _a_; _ö_ as _oe_ or 
_o_; _ü_ as _ue_ or _u_; _ß_ is never found at the beginning of a word
 but is almost always treated as _ss_, if the correct letter is not 
available). But when you subdivide a glossary/index into parts 
corresponding to initial letters, you would use explicit headings and 
not automatic counters, I think.
