But maybe me using hard newlines to tame adaptive-fill-mode is the wrong
approach: I would like to write lists such as

    . blah blah blah
    . blah blah blah

without it getting filled to

    . blah blah blah. blah blah blah

I can't blame adaptive-fill-mode for it: it can only be ever so smart
and hard newlines seemed like the solution for "when I say newline, I
MEAN IT".
