Ahh, forgot that.  +1, then.

Everybody does it, because everybody needs it.  ;)

I've personally drunk a lot of Markdown Kool-Aid, but I think the
list-continuation -> code block conflict is only an edge case to
fanboys.

The problem is that the indented code block syntax -- while a nice
bit of magic -- is too flimsy in too many cases.  List continuation
is an example of that weakness, not a reminder that "you can't have
everything".

I think the need for a second, unambiguous code block syntax won't
go away.
