That would produce a warning, and will change the font for the content of 
the first line to bold. 

ReST is pedantic with whitespaces, as it uses it to identify continuation
lines.

For it to consider one line as a continuation of the previous one, the texts
on both lines (after markups) should start at the same place.

So, on:

	* foo
	  bar

"bar" is considered a continuation of the first line. So, identical to:

	* foo bar

But:

	* foo bar
	      foobar

the whitespace doesn't match. it will change the font for the first line
to bold, and place foobar on a separate line.


(yeah, I know that, for kernel-doc, this sucks)
