Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/21

When writing an unordered sublist I like to use a different list symbol rather than the same used for the main list:

- item 1
- item 2
  + subitem 1
  + subitem 2

In my opinion this should be fine, but I get a MD004 warning instead. I suggest to modify the linter not to raise a warning in this case.

Thinking about this briefly, I'd want to add a new value for the style parameter named something like differentiated which would behave like consistent, but only check within each level of a list. For simplicity, I probably would not try to ensure consistency across lists.

Yes, better keep each list on its own. Thanks.

After playing with both implementations, it ended up being much simpler to enforce a consistent style for each level across all lists in the document. So I went with that. :)

Cool, I was hoping on that!
