I fully support taking blank line based line-wrapping approach and agree with
Zbyszek's suggested indentation approach as well. I am not sure why they didn't
occur to me at the time but they are certainly a more effective and widely
adopted approaches to the structured text problem.
I suppose here is where I should volunteer to update the patch file...
Re: Bike-shedding
>dash '-' has special meaning in brackets:
Good catch, I had intended on '-' being a valid list item character. It clearly
needs to be escaped. Not that it would matter given your proposed alternative.

In my defense I have the sadistic pleasure of coding in PHP where they are
necessary for 8 hours a day for my day job. I can only apologize profusely for
my offense and beg for forgiveness :)

>Why not just 'lines = []'?
Not to get off topic, but I happen to like list() and dict() instead of [] and
{} for empty collections. If there are non-religious reasons for avoiding this
practice I'll consider it. I don't want to invoke a holy war here, just
wondering if there are practical reasons.
>One a side note: due to #13041 the terminal width is normally stuck
at 80 chars.
Not a good reason to remove the flexibility from the implementation I don't
think.
