fill-region-as-paragraph is an interactive function.
It is very strange for me that calling it interactively requires the
user to select region within a single paragraph and nothing
else. Especially "regardless what ... human brain looking at this may think".
If Emacs command is counter-intuitive, what kind of command is it?
The fact that fill-region-as-paragraph-semlf explicitly says that is
might be called on multiple paragraphs does not help either.
(defun fill-region-as-paragraph-semlf (from to &optional justify
nosqueeze squeeze-after)
"Fill the region using semantic linefeeds as if it were a single paragraph.
This command removes any paragraph breaks in the region and extra
newlines at the end, and fills lines within the region.
