I had had this idea around for a while, and did not do my customary
check before posting.

There is one conflict with org-cycle that I did not mention.
org-cycle seems, at least for me, to do indent-relative-maybe, perhaps
as part of org-indent-line-function.  This is useful for, for example,
pseudo-code.

The fix is simply to include the result of indent-relative-maybe as
one stage of the cycle.

Again, if we don't overload org-cycle, then there is no conflict, but
overloading org-cycle IMO leverages user intuition.

Even if this all seems complicated, please take this thread as an
invitation to discuss indentation cycling.

I think that it can increase the convenience of entering lists to be
able to start a list with a single command (idea 1), to indent using
the same command (idea 1), and to toggle or cycle continuation line
vs. bullet (idea 2).

Thanks.
