I thought this was attractive, but it occured to me that whenever
you want that, you can get it just as well by instead writing the
list this way:

1. foo
1. bar
1. baz

If you kept Markdown documents in a version control system, you
would avoid that. :-)  (Renumbering items when shifting them
around can cause a lot of noise in diffs from spurious changes.)
