[FR] Aligning paragraphs in lists

Could be used M-right or M-left to align paragraphs which are 
immediately below a list?

In a list, if pressing Enter, the next paragraph is aligned below the 
item of the list:
+ Item 1
   Text indented, belongs to Item 1.

If there are subitems, the text could be needed to be aligned below a 
superior item, and this must be done in a manual way:
+ Item 1
   Text indented, belongs to Item 1.
    - Item 2
      Text indented, belongs to Item 2.
   This paragraph is aligned below Item 1, but I think there is too much 
"friction" to achieve this. And the alignment would be different if the 
bullet was "1)"


Best regards

I do not like the idea of changing the behavior of M-<left>/<right> -
users used to current behavior might be surprised.

But otherwise the feature would be reasonable.
We can make repeated <TAB> (indentation) change the current paragraph
indentation in the parent lists. Similar to what we do for new headings:

‘<TAB>’ (‘org-cycle’)
     In a new entry with no text yet, the first ‘<TAB>’ demotes the
     entry to become a child of the previous one.  The next ‘<TAB>’
     makes it a parent, and so on, all the way to top level.  Yet
     another ‘<TAB>’, and you are back to the initial level.

Patches welcome!
