Hi Thorsten,

the usual way to introduce new \item-like macros to AUCTeX is to add
them to the variable `LaTeX-item-regexp'.  The fun part is that AUCTeX
always adds a `(regexp-quote TeX-esc)' to the places where this variable
is used.  To answer your question, I don't see an easy way to add single
characters without a backslash to AUCTeX without some
hacking/overwriting/advising of internal functions.

If want to give a roll, search for `LaTeX-item-regexp' in latex.el.

Best, Arash
