Fixed, on main.

However, what we do for alphabetical bullets on export is slightly
different:

3. foo
1. bar
11. baz

Other export backends do not preserve alphabetical bullets. Numbers are
always used.

> On a slightly related note: it seems the COUNTER-SET[1] allows single-letter values even when org-list-allow-alphabetical is nil. I don't think that is going to hurt anyone but I figured I should mention it in case its a bug (test doc: `1. [@k] foo` is a plain list starting at 11 even when org-list-allow-alphabetical is nil).

org-syntax.html#Items describes what the parser does (`org-element-item-parser').
`org-list-allow-alphabetical' should be changed to t in future and
obsoleted. We aim to reduce config-dependent Org syntax in the long
term.
