If the direction is right, no harm is done. Look at the counter stuff. I
would not have started with it if it had not been done 80% already.

Please fill in the following template for me to see what exactly it
would look like.
Currently we have
Counter
Name theorem
End
Style Theorem
LabelStyle Counter
LabelCounter theorem
LabelString "Theorem \arabic{theorem}"
End
Style Definition
LabelStyle Counter
LabelCounter theorem
LabelString "Definition \arabic{theorem}"
End
What would your proposal look like?
Counter
Name theorem
[???]
End
Style Theorem
[???]
End
Style Definition
[???]
End
