maybe, but more a side effect i think .. the incrementnumber is the 
official way to have an unumbered section (in fact 'subject's are the way)

there is a bit of history behind this:

- in mkii we stored the numbers like 1:2:3:4 in the utility file
- so in order to get less prefixes in for isntance a list we had to 
parse that number
- which was possible because we knew the level
- but then getting pieces colors or in an other font was kind of tricky 
(but diable)
- the same for converted numbers
- for mixed usage there was no way to distinguish rendering

but in mkiv, we do it different:

- each number is stored along with the used prefix so we can exactly 
match them
- but we can also configure them differently as we have all information 
available
- of course overloaded numbers are also handled

well, you think so, but all you can't imagine get requested ... the same 
for the way prefixes are dealt with; we have documents with several 
interwoven number systems and we can have more or less suffixes in 
different sections of a document, image, reference .. whatever, so 
whenever a number is requested there is now full control over the prefix 
(what components to use) as well as the number (what components to show) 
.. indeed complex

not much different from users mixing fonts that don't match well

there are quite some example posts by wolfgang .. there are also some 
examples in the test suite

maybe some day i'll add a bit more tracing but keep in mind that when 
one user asks for ?? another asks for nothing (the log can show some 
info too, and there is actually a truckload of trackers to help you)
