I'd just like that say that I'd really prefer if
* This is a list item\
continued on the next line
did *not* produce a space. It's not uncommon for me to try and do
relatively advanced markup resulting in long lines (conditional
expressions come to my mind here). So I then naturally would like to be
able to break these lines using '\'... which fails sometimes because of
the space that I get.
Just my opinion :-)
