enhancement request: include check-boxes in Shift-<arrow> cycling on lists

[Livin Stephen Sharma]

I think this would be a useful in daily use: to be able to easily convert a list [whether numbers or bullets] into a list of " - [ ] foo" check-box items.
 FWIW, I use regex'es to achieve this for now.

Turning plain list items into checkboxes is already possible:

,----
| C-c C-x C-b
| 
| Toggle checkbox status or (with prefix arg) checkbox presence at point. With double prefix argument, set it to ‘[-]’, which i s considered to be an intermediate state.
| 
|   * If there is an active region, toggle the first checkbox in the
|     region and set all remaining boxes to the same status as the
|     first. With a prefix arg, add or remove the checkbox for all items
|     in the region.
| 
|   * If the cursor is in a headline, toggle checkboxes in the region
|     between this headline and the next (so not the entire subtree).
| 
|   * If there is no active region, just toggle the checkbox at point.

That is what `C-c C-x C-b' does.

I just tried this and found it to work well enough for my requirements.
Thanks for the information [and for the Manual-reference], David.
