Markdown lists are reflowed incorrectly

[rhysforyou]

Like it says on the tin. When I try to reflow a markdown list item such as the following:

- Wow what a long item this is it'd be a good idea to wrap this to make things a little neater

I get this result

- Wow what a long item this is it'd be a good idea to wrap this to make things a
- little neater

Ideally it should look like this

- Wow what a long item this is it'd be a good idea to wrap this to make things a
  little neater

Furthermore, if you have a list of multiple items, like so,

 * pretend thing1 were really long
 * pretend thing2 were really long
 * pretend thing3 were really long

and you try to reflow, it unites them into a single list item if it can, or multiple ones if it must, like so.

 * pretend thing1 were really long pretend thing2 were really long pretend
 * thing3 were really long

This makes a lot of sense in a .c file in between /* and */, but not so much in a .md or .litcoffee file.

And FWIW, this issue is actually the TODO marked in the code at line 21.

Has any progress been made on this front, by any chance? I'm having trouble understanding why behavior that (in Vim, at least) can be added with minor adjustments to a regex pattern is still missing after more than two years... Or is everyone just using softwraps for Markdown these days? Anyway, for what it's worth, the Magic Reflow package covers this functionality. It would just be nice to see it added to stock Atom.
