One may need to use e.g. Mongolian language, and A-B-C numbering, as well as
a-b-c, or i-ii-iii, or Arabic, if needed, not only Mongolian.

It is a dangerous attitude. I can understand a desire to keep the prominent
parts of the UI clean. But the idea that we must make some functionality simply
inaccessible at all (except API) is really hurting. I don't propose any
complexity 
in the default-visible things. But elements like "More..." should be introduced
as many as needed to provide the access to advanced features to whoever need
them. Basic users may limit themselves to basic UI.
