Perhaps can be optional the way alphabetic lists and numbered list types are.

Which part?  The latter means this:

Mline
line
  line
P

M and P indicate mark and point, active.

C-c - to make this:

M- line
- line
  - line
P

So I have to go to mark, mark, go to point, C-c -, manually fix the
list by going to M, ^G to deactivate, then actually control shift
right to indent to where I want.  I need to do this every time because
I never put lists at column 0.

All I was saying is that I'd like C-c - on an active region to produce this:

  - line
  - line
    - line

Of course I am not saying that this should apply to everybody.
Michael and I like to indent by 2, so for us it would make sense to
make C-c - support that for us.

I don't indent paragraphs.  1 conflicts with cycling.  2 is a good
idea in general but not an improvement over the above cumbersome
procedure other than getting rid of ^G.
