I don't see the point of nth-letter, but nth-line would be kinda usefull, and
be usefull for combining with line-markers.
:nth-line(even) { background: white; }
:nth-line(odd) { background: gray; }
:nth-line(5n)::marker { content: counter(line) "." }
It gets ugly however if we need to support nth-last-line and friends, and
their usefullness is nil.
As for :last-letter, I don't even think there is any reason to
have :first-letter. Authors could use normal markup to select any letter for
styling if they wanted to (unlike first-line).
<span class="first-letter>T</span>his i<span class="nth-letter">s</span> an
