Your reviews, in whatever timeframe, are very much appreciated.

I did adopt that Roman numeral inline list style for the example based
on the existing one.

I’ve always read it as a stylistic choice. So not for the ability to
reference them. You have that ability, but I have the impression that
most inline lists like that are not used to reference back to the item.

This existing inline list goes back long before this series. Changing it
would mean adding another change to an already long series. And I’m not
sure that it should be changed in the first place. So for now at least I
am not going to pick up on this topic.

I will wait at least a day for any more comments and post a new version
with that fix to the commit message.
