Do a smart indent on long list items

On IA writer for mac and ueberwriter for linux, you have a smart indent feature, that indents softwraped lines to align them with the text, rather than the list's bullet.
It seems like inserting two spaces, but those are acutally not saved (it is a softwrap anyway).

E.g.:

  • this is the simulation of a very
    long line how it is displayed atm.
  • this is the simulation of a smart
    indenting of softwraped lines.

Is that even possible in sublime? If yes, it would come nice in the next update ;-)

I'd love this feature and requested it for MarkdownEditing, too: https://github.com/ttscoff/MarkdownEditing/issues/42
Not sure where it fits best.

I think it's not possible.
I had contributed in UberWriter (not much, but, well, FWIW) and IIRC it matchs bullets and set negative left margin: so bullet itself goes left and text remains on the same level as regular text.
AFAIK, ST doesn't provide such ability.
