Interesting. fill-paragraph won't budge this paragraph:
Probably a lot of the stuff in the reply you posted is
relevant. Anyway, it should say something. Also mention the case where
one wants to mix -e's too.
OK, I'll (setq sentence-end-double-space nil). Hurmf. Should be the
default. I can't think of any computer language where the amount of
whitespace is relevant, except python. Made sense with .txt files,
but not nowadays for, e.g., HTML.

The main use for the fill commands in programs is when operating on
comments. Our recommended convention is two spaces between sentences,
including in comments.
