What about a compromise? I envision an editable variable called
"org-plain-list-regexp-delimiter" (in the same vein as
"org-export-latex-emphasis-alist") that is a list of delimiters
recognized for plain lists. I rarely use periods (always use
parentheses), so the value of this variable could default to the
current behavior, but be customizable to remove specific delimiters
from the list.
