True, but it's hard to know where to stop. Should it provide support for the many other uses of letters for enumeration? In outlines, A = 1 in English, and #\Alpha = 1 in Greek. What about the Unicode Roman-numeral characters, or the many Chinese characters that have traditional numeric values. Still, since hex digits are part of Scheme, ballot ticket #452 filed to provide support for A-F and a-f. -- "The serene chaos that is Courage, and the phenomenon [email protected] of Unopened Consciousness have been known to the John Cowan Great World eons longer than Extaboulism."
