like (up to TeX's limitation)

- Hanging of the item text from its counter
- Alignment of items with counters of different
sizes
- Progressive indentation of the list
- Vertical space between items
- Space between counters and items
- Hidden counters, e.g. a) instead of 2.1.a)
- Embedding of counters in a command
- Zapf's Dingbats available to denote numbers
* Predefined styles
* Referring to item's with LaTeX's label and
ef
* NewList or NewList(key=value...) to get rid of
previous parameters and create new ones
* The keyval package is not required anymore
* The environment have been (somewhat sensibly)
renamed 'easylist'

revised accordingly)
