FWIW, I would not want ot have to count '#'s in order to tell how many levels of
indentation I was getting.
But maybe we could hit a middle ground?
=item 1# Foo
=item 2 Bar
=item 2 Baz
=item 3 Jaz
=item 4 Quux
=item 1# Raboof
Produces this:
1. Foo
* Bar
* Baz
* Jaz
* Quux
2. Raboof
(Yes, I deliberately used 4 space indent instead of 8; I wanted to make sure I could
fit 4 levels of indentation on one line. Holy wars are two doors down at /dev/null.)
I propose that the author would be required to be consistent about the use or non-use
of '#' at a particular level, just to keep things clear.
