Hi Uwe,

I don't think these fill-paragraph patches made it into master. Attached are 
the patches that work for me. Are there any reasons to not apply them?

Thanks,
John

You mean besides me 😇 I do hope so!

I cannot judge this and I don't want to cause you headaches.

However I can tell you that code that is written with the native matlab
editor (say by my students) tend to have these enormous comment lines as
in the files


fill_prob2.m
fill_prob.m

So filling these lines would help me quite a bit and I thought emacs
users sharing code with those using the native editor might face similar
problems.


The thing that puzzles me:

in commit 0f305501f26d633048c83a89b6652db169394a3f
that line filling problems seemed to be solved

But in the last two commits it throws an error.

So what changed and can't we just go back?

Yes I think so.
