The feature I'm proposing is semantically closer to "join lines", rather than the inverse of `fill-region' or `fill-paragraph', so I don't think it is correct to call it "unfill". To further explain this, I envision this to be the inverse of a "split" function (not `split-line') , which will split the line into several lines based on a delimiter (whitespace by default or user specified, or can also be fill-prefix).

Thanks for your patch.  In case you weren't already aware of it, there is some
related discussion at http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=14973 .
