What will then happen if the user is cycling bullets in a 100+ items
list and hits alphabetic bullets? Besides undoing that move, there's
nothing much that could be done then. Further cycling would become
impossible.

One idea would be to count items before cycling, and skipping
alphabetic bullets for lists above 26 items. It has to be carefully
implemented, as it could get very heavy on computations with large
lists.

Also, inserting new items in an alphabetical list should check if the
27th item has been reached and change bullets back to numbers if
needed.

I'm sure there are others subtleties that I can't think of right now.

Regards,

-- Nicolas
