Re: Switching over from package org-radiobutton to native support

[Samuel Wales]

not sure what you mean by return.

org core code for a while now has included a minor mode for radio
buttons.  i think, however, #+ syntax and no mode is better if it
means that you can do it per list or per sublist.

that can also be used for other list features, such as ensuring bullet
style cnsistency or so.
