I was thinking of '->' as an operator, that increases the indentation of 
whatever comes next.

Does this look better to you

	->:term: definition, indented once
	-->:term: definition, indented twice

It's not a big thing, I'd just thought it'd be nice with a single markup 
to increase indentation for most stuff. But maybe there isn't anything 
besides '::' and normal paragrahs that need indentation?
