I see, I understand your point but also Elis'.

It makes sense to fill a new documentation and from this possibly
refining the text.  (By the way, the documentation of fill-paragraph has
a line with of 79 chars, please see below ;-).)  But also not to fill
unnecessarily *existing* documentation in patches for a better
readability (as long as there is no explicit directive for normalising
the documentation width for all existing doc strings).

Below is the last third of fill-paragraph's doc.:

⌜
 If `fill-paragraph-function' is nil, return the `fill-prefix' used for filling.

 The REGION argument is non-nil if called interactively; in that
 case, if Transient Mark mode is enabled and the mark is active,
 call `fill-region' to fill each of the paragraphs in the active
 region, instead of just filling the current paragraph.
                                                       ⌟

Thanks
        Dieter
