+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; Provides a mode where paragraphs are refilled after changes in them
+;; (using `after-change-hooks').  This gives something akin to typical
+;; word processor-style filling.  We restrict refilling due to
+;; self-insertion to the characters which trigger auto-fill.
+
+;; It partly satisfies a todo item in enriched.el for some value of
+;; `without slowing down editing too much'.  It doesn't attempt to do
+;; anything (using `window-size-change-functions'?) about resizing
+;; windows -- who cares?
+
+;; This implementation is probably fragile and missing some special
+;; cases -- not extensively tested.  Yanking paragraph breaks, for
+;; instance, won't DTRT by refilling all the relevant paragraphs.
+
+;; You could do it a bit more efficiently (and robustly?) with just an
+;; auto-fill function, but that doesn't cope with changes other than
+;; through self-insertion.  (Using auto-fill and after-change
+;; functions together didn't seem winning.)  This could probably
+;; benefit from a less-general and faster `fill-paragraph-function',
+;; ideally as a primitive.
+
+;; The work is done in a local post-command hook but only if
+;; `refill-doit' has been set by the after-change function.  Using
+;; `post-command-hooks' ensures simply that refilling only happens
+;; once per command.
+
+;; [Per Abrahamsen's maniac.el does a similar thing, but operates from
+;; post-command-hook.  I don't understand the statement in it that
+;; after-change-hooks don't work for this purpose; perhaps there was
+;; some Emacs bug at the time.  ISTR maniac has problems with
+;; whitespace at the end of paragraphs.]
