A friend asked how to do this
Kate Moss
Elle Macpherson
Alicia Silverstone
into this
A Kate Moss
B Elle Macpherson
C Alicia Silverstone
No idea why!
Anyway, ABC index contest! Elisp and keyboard macros allowed!
Here is contribution CONTRIBUTION by Yours Truly:
(require 'cl-lib)
(defun index-abc (&optional beg end)
(interactive (if (use-region-p)
(list (region-beginning) (region-end))
(list (point-min) (point-max) )))
(save-excursion
(save-restriction
(narrow-to-region beg end)
(goto-char (point-min))
(cl-loop for i from ?A to ?Z do
(when (re-search-forward "^" nil t)
(insert (char-to-string i) " ") )))))

Interactively, make a rectangle selection just before the first column
and then:
C-u C-x r N 65 RET %c RET
In Lisp, you could write something like
(defun rectangle-char-lines (beg end letter)
(interactive "r\ncStart letter:")
(rectangle-number-lines beg end letter "%c "))
and bind it to a key.

Oh no, there is a damn function to do this already...
Well, OK. Good job I guess.
Stay tuned for the next Emacs challenge competition, in a terminal
emulator near YOU

If you wanted to make the starting letter more human readable, you could
use ?A instead of 65 :-)
