It's almost a function "next-sentence". I would also prefer a variant  
which ends the jump before the symbol that signals the end of a  
sentence ([.!?]). (I certainly need to edit the text more often than  
this mark. What happens when the actual sentence ends with one of many  
possible quotation marks?)
