Alright. In that case, imagine the school's student list has a field called
"Letter". Since you surely know what the word "letter" means, what is the
difference between students with a Letter value of A10 and those whose Letter
value is C1?
(Here's a hint: the school's teachers evaluate students using this field.)

There is unfortunately no new version of Bugzilla. Any of the options you
mentioned will take a lot of time to implement if it is chosen. In the
meantime, rather than discouraging any request for improvement in the Bugzilla
path, I recommend you add a warning to reporters against bugs.kde.org, with a
link to more information on your prediction. In any case, if you are implying
that a future Bugzilla version already has this issue solved, please indicate
so explicitly.
