Now that we have visual-line-mode that is very good for writing text
wouldn't it be good to have unfilling too? Like the routines below?

Just being curious: why is visual-line-mode good for writing text?

You do not have to re-fill it all the time...

What about auto-fill-mode? Does it not just do that?
I don't clearly see the interaction between filling and visual-line-mode...

Don't know, I never tried it.

I have a minor mode that sets margins so that the width is fill-column...

I think you should :) It's a pretty basic minor mode that makes life
really easier.

Thanks, maybe. Looking it the doc string I remember why I never used
it. It kind of wraps too late. I found M-q more practical then.

I think this is very valuable because unfilling is a very common operation (for me even more than filling).
Those functions work and are easier than manual unfilling with C-u M-^ etc.

refill-mode might help.

I have been looking for something like this. Would you mind sharing it?

It is part of nXhtml, in the file ourcomments-util. But I am currently
fighting some bugs in it. window-width seems to be buggy.

If you look in nXhtml repository in Launchpad you can find the minor
mode wrap-to-fill-column-mode in the file ourcomments-util.el. It
looks like it works ok now.
This mode does some small things that I find useful when writing text:
- Sets left and right margin so that text in displayed in the middle
of the window fill-column wide.
- Turns on visual-line-mode.
- Sets wrap-prefix so that continuation lines are indented the same
amount as the current line.
