While I am not technically knowledgeable with org-mode's internals, it
surprises me that lists and section headings are treated differently for
org-indent-mode. I guess I won't be able to use lists for a while...
(I suppose the other option is to use real indentation, manually, to
break up a long list line into smaller chunks, but that solution to me
is just ugly and hacky. It would be great to get uniform behavior for
both sections as well as lists.)

I did not know that lists were dependant on real indentation. Now I
know.
