I see, I understand your point but also Elis'.
It makes sense to fill a new documentation and from this possibly
refining the text. (By the way, the documentation of fill-paragraph has
a line with of 79 chars, please see below ;-).) But also not to fill
unnecessarily *existing* documentation in patches for a better
readability (as long as there is no explicit directive for normalising
the documentation width for all existing doc strings).
Below is the last third of fill-paragraph's doc.:
⌜
If `fill-paragraph-function' is nil, return the `fill-prefix' used for filling.
The REGION argument is non-nil if called interactively; in that
case, if Transient Mark mode is enabled and the mark is active,
call `fill-region' to fill each of the paragraphs in the active
region, instead of just filling the current paragraph.
⌟
Thanks
Dieter
