M-x fill-paragraph on 487.2875, 487.3375, 487.4000, ... gives 487.2875, 3375, 4000, 4500, 4750, 5250, 5500, 6000, 7250, 8000, 8500, 487.8750, adaptive-fill-regexp has an explicit alternative to match prefixes such as `NNN.' This would only apply in the case where the first two lines of a paragraph both start that way. Maybe we should delete that case. Is that really a case that people use? In some kinds of outlines, the first line of a paragraph would start that way, but you wouldn't put the prefix on every line. Can anyone think of a reason why we should keep this case?
