```
The example for the push.pushOption config tries to create a
preformatted section, but uses only two dashes in its "--" line. In
AsciiDoc this is an "open block", with no type; the lines end up jumbled
because they're formatted as paragraphs. We need four or more dashes to
make it a "listing block" that will respect the linebreaks.

And the itemized list in push.default is delimited with two dashes
as a non listing block, so it is shown correctly as a bulletted list
just fine.  Makes sense.

Will queue.
