Two remarks:

    1. It should be *TeX-add-symbols* not *TeX-add-symbol*, right?

    2. When I put this file in my private auctex style list, compile it,
       restart emacs open a file that contains \usepackage{refcount}
       I obtain an error that I attach.

Ok, that works (or should work) because of the lines

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  (and LaTeX-reftex-ref-style-auto-activate
       (fboundp 'reftex-ref-style-activate)
       (reftex-ref-style-activate "Refcount"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But then shouldn't something like this be added to nameref also, so that
the private setting 

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'reftex-ref-style-alist
               '("Nameref" "nameref" (("\\nameref" ?m)))
               t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Would work as well?

But as I said I encounter problems.
