There used to be a function to do exactly that, back when Emacs was
implemented in TECO and only ran on DEC mainframes.  (It was said that
merely three Emacs users could bring a KL-20 to its knees, although that
was an exaggeration.)

However, I can't find anything, so you will have to roll your own
function and, optionally, assign it to a key.  The required
functionality appears to be in 'justify-current-line', but this really
needs to be called from a wrapper defun -- it's not set up for direct
binding to a key.
