list items cannot contain just puntuation (if there's no alphanumeric characters, it doesn't work)

[beccasaurus]

to reproduce: Maruku.new("* alpha\n* ?.,/~!@$%^&()-") Maruku.new("1. first\n2. second\n3. ?\n4. profit!") Maruku.new("* first\n* ?\n* third")

I think there's a good use-case for a

to merely contain punctuation, eg:

1. foo
2. bar
3. ?
4. profit!

I forked and created a failing spec: http://github.com/remi/maruku/raw/8d0e002dc97b1993d37fe345fcf464f543b4a98c/spec/block_docs/lists12.md

This issue is a real problem for documents written in non-latin scripts.

The following snippet (from the Japanese translation of the Pro Git book) is not recognised as a bullet list

*       ノンリニア開発(数千の並列ブランチ)への強力なサポート
*       完全な分散

This issue can be fixed by modifying the "line_md_type" method in "type_detection.rb". I don't know why a list item needs containing at least one alphanumeric character, but its parsing rule written in that file says it needs so.

I think this is fixed properly on my Nokogiri branch.

I've confirmed that this is fixed in master.
