Personally I do like:
- this way of indenting a long line
that extends to more than one line
So an idea that comes to mind is, how about disabling indentation for
lists and have a special way of editing a list item like so:
- have your list content here up to a point where you press <C-M-TAB>
and that indents your next line (or pointer)
So pressing just TAB in a list content won't have any effect.
Hope that helps.

Cezar
