list corner case

[Sherwood Botsford]

I'll admit the interpretation of

1.  foo
*   baz
-   bar
-   biff
*   qix
-   qak
7. qux

as a single list counter intuitive.

My gut feel for that, after having used markdown.pl with ttree for a few
months is that this would be a three level nested list.  I KNOW that's not
what the docs say.

But the philosophy of markdown is that of an email message.  Who changes
bullets in the middle of a list? And since indents in email are normally
used for quoting, I expect the above to be shorthand for

1. foo
      * baz
            - bar
            - biff
      * qix
            - qak
2.  qux
