Thanks for pointing me to the comments in the .el source file.

So here's my situation. I have a year's worth of lecture slides that render
nicely using the old exporter. In the new exporter, the clear hierarchies
of "enumerate" environments disappear, replaced by flat blocks. This new
behavior is not useful to me.

The comments in the source don't say anything about how I can modify the
default "block" behavior. As a result, if the new exporter is fundamentally
incompatible with the old and the only way is to insert properties by hand
under every headline (across all of my files, I'd guess the count is in the
high hundreds, if not >1000)... then the new beamer exporter is not useful
to me.

Is there an existing feature request for this? If not, would it help if I
logged one? (Even if I didn't have existing files -- I like bullet points
on slides, not flat text. I don't understand why I shouldn't be able to set
that as a global or per-file preference.)

I don't mean to be harsh. I'm glad for the new exporter and I'll use it for
the next article I write. For beamer, though, currently it sounds like a
lot of work to get a result that used to be easy.
