Any pointers on how to do this ?

I tried this but no luck to get hooked in:

```
(defadvice org-fix-list-indent
    (around org-list-indent-item-generic)
  "Advise list indention to trigger creation of star instead"
  (message "DO MAGIC!")
  (ad-do-it)
)
```

But with this "DO MAGIC!" does not show up.
