FR: Generate Hierarchy Diagram from Markdown List

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Problem
Mermaid syntax can become very wordy or difficult to read.

Background

• Wordy: Previous nodes have to be stated explicitly by name.
• Difficult to read: Mermaid & syntax for expressing many nodes does not support line breaks

I have many markdown documents describing dependencies or hierarchies in a markdown-list format like the following:

- House
  - Kitchen
    - chair
    - table  
  - Living room
    - chair
    - table
  - Bathroom
     - bath tub
     - toilette 

To translate the into mermaid so a diagram can be generated, I end up with

1. very long lines connecting nodes via & ( House --> Kitchen & Living room & Bathroom)
2. or I need a lot redundancy by repeatedly restating the name of a node.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to create this:

from this:

- A
  - B
  - C
  - D

This is very close to my the syntax for mindmaps that I am working on:

   root[The root]
      Child1
      child2(Child2)
        Other
      Child3
        GrandChild1
          sc1
          sc2
          sc3
        GrandChild2

We should do this. There are more diagrams that could use the syntax like wbs diagrams and org charts.
