Currently if you do M-RET in a checkbox list item, the next item does not become a checkbox automatically. This patch fixes that.
I have been using this fix locally for few months. But never got to submitting it as I need to yet write a test for it.
Does that patch look good (apart from missing tests). Should I format it w.r.t to next? or master?
Thanks.
