Sorry, I'd have no problem doing that. One possibility is what you
just mentioned above. If the editor inserted, say, a CR/LF pair when
the user presses Return, it could easily use a single CR to mark those
lines that were formatted automatically. Also, they should be using a
multi-byte charset, there's enough space in there to use some magic
sequence as a mark.

IMHO, the a-f function is just that, a function for display time
wrapping of continuous strings. The simple function "justify on
autowrap" wasn't, but as a-f does the formatting all the time, it has
to deal with the problem.
Anyway, this discussion arose when someone said he's not happy with
the way the function works. I'm not happy with it, because it's a
great function i'd really like to use, but the time I don't use now
for reformatting paragraphs, I use to reformat those I didn't ever
want formatted. It's not just the single/double CR problem, it's also
that formatting is done just about always. It even does it when I
insert some preformatted text from the clipboard!
Well, as someone also pointed out, it's a first try at a new function.
Maybe it will become better.
