If you never report a bug or enhancement request then it is probably even less
likely that it will be taken care of.

I was suggesting that you might be able to just select several paragraphs and
use one of the commands I mentioned, instead of hitting `M-q' for each
paragraph.

Why bother to fill immediately? Why not select all your paragraphs when you're
done editing or at a stopping point, and then use one of the region filling
commands? That was my suggestion, anyway, FWIW.
