Aha! Thank you. The manual does indeed describe that.

However it doesn't seem to work in quite the way one (or at least I)
might expect. If I type:

1)
2)

and then I hit M-RET I'll get:

1)
2)
3)

But if have:

1)
[@3])

and then I hit M-RET I'll get:

1)
[@3])
*

so it seems that that the last item isn't recognised as a list item. I
guess I was expecting to get:

1)
[@3])
4)
