I thought about exploring a possibility of using the previous line
context and a consistent style where a trailing space at the end of the
previous line means I want to continue a paragraph and not to start
another list item. Like with the "w" option of 'fo'. Then both normal
numbers and list item numbers could match the same regex.

I have no idea if such a thing is feasible, though.
