If I understand it correctly, `org-list-full-item-re' wouldn't be set for users not going through the Customize interface.

If you really want to beautify your Org files, you may, instead, implement a minor mode adding customizable Unicode characters as overlays on every bullet in the buffer. I bet some users would appreciate it. Regards, --=20 Nicolas Goaziou
