I had a similar experience this week. I used a blank line to separate blocks
of code in a Makefile and a colleague replaced them with more visible lines of
comments:
#

I think I have to revert it :)

Your patch is malformed.
- wrapped long line
- tabs are spaces
- wrong line numbers (why? I'm on svn revision 1114, too)
To have the chance to get the feature included at all, please read :help
design-documented
Consider these files:
runtime/doc/quickref.txt (:h option-list)
runtime/doc/tags (not sure if necessary)
runtime/doc/options.txt (:h option-summary)
runtime/doc/motion.txt (:h paragraph)
runtime/syntax/vim.vim (search for vimOptions)
runtime/optwin.vim
I stumbled over ap and ip at the text-objects (:h ap), where lines with
whitespace are also handled as a paragraph boundary. Isn't this a little bit
inconsistent with } and { and the description at :h paragraph?
While replying to this mail, I noticed that it would be useful to define own
paragraph boundaries, not only an option for whitespace. I use Gvim as
external editor for KMail and want to delete some paragraphs of quoted text
from Mark, but the > quote sign forbids it. I saw 'paragraphs' in the help,
but I think that's a bit of another thing. Or is it already possible with this
option?
