I'm not sure on what basis you make assertions of the relative demand for
different enhancements. Unless there's random polling of the user base, the
absence of a request for a particular enhancement may simply mean that the
people who want a particular option haven't spoken up (either because they
don't feel that strongly, but would want it, or because they don't use the bug
site, etc.).

For an example of a style guide that could be understood to require what I'm
asking for, see: https://www.stylemanual.gov.au/structuring-content/lists

"Rules for sentence lists: ... Align run-over lines with the text, not the
bullet or number."
