> The unordered list markup symbol is a dash -. The other two Markdown options are * and +. But * is ambiguous and + is unpopular and there must be one way only!

THANK YOU for getting rid of the asterisk. As a former org-mode user it has always bugged me when people use the asterisk for lists, not headings. :)

I appreciate your viewpoint, but as someone who has used * out of habit for plain text lists long before Markdown was a thing, this is kind of a big ask. :)
