Thanks!  I've applied the patch, and amended the commit to change the
format.  It's pushed already.

See man-pages(7):

	   Lists
	     There are different kinds of lists:

	     Tagged paragraphs
		...
	     Ordered lists
		...
	     Positional lists
		    Elements are preceded by a number (index) in square
		    brackets [4], [5].  These  represent  fields  in  a
		    set.  The first index will be:

		    0      When it represents fields of a C data struc‐
			   ture, to be consistent with arrays.
		    1      When  it  represents fields of a file, to be
			   consistent with tools like cut(1).

	     Alternatives list
		...
	     Bullet lists
		...
	     Numbered notes
		    Not  really  a list, but the syntax is identical to
		    "positional lists".

	     There should always be exactly 2 spaces between  the  list
	     symbol  and  the  elements.  This doesn’t apply to "tagged
	     paragraphs", which use the default indentation rules.

Have a lovely day!
Alex
