Kalle,
I would simply subclass the `UListProcessor` class and override the
regex (`UListProcessor.RE`) so that it also matched your new bullet
type, and then use the new subclass as a replacement for the
`UListProcessor` instance. After all, all you are doing is adding a new
bullet type for unordered lists.
That said, I would strongly suggest you not use the hash character
(`#`) as a bullet. It already serves as a hash style header. How would
you differentiate between a header nested in a list item and your new
list type? For example, consider your example list:
* List begins here
# New list-like thing
In standard Markdown, that would render correctly as:
<ul>
<li>
<p>List begins here</p>
<h1>New list-like thing</h1>
</li>
</ul>
In my experience, it is best **not** to introduce new syntax which
directly conflicts with existing syntax. Of course, if you are also
removing support for hash style headers, then that may make sense.
