This definitely *logically* does not belong to any kind of "list indicator"
concept, and the star is not a metadata (like position in the list), but a
*data* of a corresponding entry; and for such data, the correct tool is
*table*.

The same.

The same.

So IMO: mainly WF. The "What people do today" is *the* correct thing to do.
