What is a "paragraph" in Emacs? I can't find a @dfn{paragraph} anywhere
in the Emacs/Elisp manuals.
Do we need one? Certainly in the Emacs Lisp manual we don't.
It is a high-level concept used in just a few user-level commands.
Defining paragraphs better might be useful in the Emacs Manual.
Would this really make a difference for users, though? I am not sure.
Right now the manual effectively takes for granted that users
know what a paragraph is. Is this a problem?
