Actually I rarely if ever use fill-region whereas I use
fill-region-as-paragraph much more often. Typically the way this works is
that fill-paragraph doesn't do the right thing, so I use
fill-region-as-paragraph to tell Emacs exactly which part of the text
should be considered as a paragraph.
This is even worse with fill-region because while fill-paragraph can be
tuned via fill-paragraph-function, fill-region is 100% hard coded and the
major can't do anything about it. This is actually a bug, IMNSHO, which I'd
like to fix by introducing fill-paragraph-forward-function whose value would
default to forward-paragraph.
