So let me know what you want to do here, as long as I'm revising my patch. If you want to "fix" Vim so that the current :h text-objects does not lie, then I will remove the option, fix startPS(), and correct ":h paragraph" in my patch.I don't know if it's a bug, I rather think it is intended to behave so.
Maybe so... OTOH, whoever wrote ":h text-objects" probably intended that it be true as well :-)
Let's wait for someone who knows it.
Sounds good.
By the way, this suggested change would break backwards compatibility.
Me knows... That's actually why I did it as a new option; it was really a "don't break back-compatibility" reflex action on my part. But now that I think of it... it really seems like a stretch to imagine that anybody would find fault with the "new" behavior if it were done this way ("Hey! Paragraph motions are now stopping at all my whitespace-only lines!!!"), but... who knows...? ;-)
If you want to wait and see WOT, that's great. In the meantime, I have my reasonable paragraphs now so I'm happy. I was just trying to maybe contribute something useful while I was at it, and help make the world a (admittedly ever so slightly) better place. If someone ever asks me to redo this patch in either one of the two ways discussed, I'm happy to do it.
