Hi all,

If I am adding an item to a plain list, almost always I want the added item
to agree with the item beneath which it will occur on the presence of
checkboxes.

So, I think that it would be more useful were M-RET to create a new item
that has or does not have a checkbox present depending on whether it is
invoked in a plain list item with or without a checkbox. Likewise S-M-RET
could differ from the item at which is called with respect to checkbox
presence.

The downsides are this behaviour is more complex and likely would disturb
some orgers' muscle memories. So, I'm not pushing hard but throwing it out
there to see if it sticks :-)

Best,

Brian vdB
