Thanks! This indeed seems to work as desired:
(defun my-fill-paragraph (&optional arg)
(interactive "P")
(if arg
(call-interactively 'unfill-paragraph)
(call-interactively 'fill-paragraph)))
(global-set-key (kbd "M-q") 'my-fill-paragraph)
I'll "field-test" today then post gnu-emacs-sources (with attribution).
