Sorry for the bad wording. I really admire your work and didn't mean to 
underestimate your kind efforts.

I'm aware of the  numbered example list 
<https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#numbered-example-lists>, the thing is if I 
want to use 2 lists, I intuitively give them different identifiers e.g 
'(@foo1)' and '(@foo2)'. However, they are parsed as a single list. I still 
can't make make multiple different lists, it's a single list throughout the 
document.  Please enumerate us, is it possible to have more than a single 
list of this type in a single document? If yes, is the suggested syntax 
applicable?
