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

Instead of alphabetic styles with more letters, I think it may make 
sense to add a counter style with *less*. I know I’ve seen lists that 
omitted `j` (or `i`), but I’m not sure they would also combine `u`, 
`v` and `w` into a single marker (or two). `lower-alpha-ancient` 
perhaps?

I’m currently researching the use of (lowercase) broken letters / 
blackletter as list markers. They used to be somewhat common among 
German mathematicians and engineers for deeply nested hierarchies 
where roman numbers, decimal numbers, roman letters and greek letters 
had already been used. (Alphabetic lists inside German Fraktur / 
Sütterlin texts often employed Antiqua letters with closing 
parentheses or period as a suffix.)
