Maybe there should be some possibility to customize the itemize environment,
something extra to those lines:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** Overlays
   :PROPERTIES:
   :BEAMER_envargs: [<+->]
   :END:

- One item
- Another one, after one click
- Last one, after another click
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
