Just to make sure I understand, according to this copy-based mechanism, suppose I have the following in an itemize paragraph: * This is a paragraph. If I copy just "This is", then when I paste into the empty enumerate item it would not be converted to itemize and enumerate would be preserved. On the other hand if I copy the full "This is a paragraph." then it would be converted. Do I understand correctly? This is interesting and I haven't thought about this possibility. I would have to pay more attention to when this issue comes up for me. I think it would cover most of the cases.
