Hi Pierre-Henri,
Each list environment (e.g. enumerate) comes with two variants
enumerate* and enumerate-continued. For the moment, they are not
exposed in the interface though. For the next release, I added
a style package prefix-enumerate with a global setting to make
what you want the default.
Best wishes, --Joris
