I have been looking at latex.tex, trying to understand how paragraphs
in the list environment are formatted.  Basically this is done with a
\parshape command executed at the beginning of the list environment.

I don't understand why that works.  The \parshape parameter is
supposed to be reset after each \par, but in this case it takes effect
for every paragraph within the the environment.  What am I missing?
