I've now done basically this in Emacs 29 -- `M-q' in Emacs Lisp mode
fills strings if we're inside strings, but otherwise does very simple
sexp-based filling.  Tweaking this further is probably a good idea, but
it seems to give pretty logical results now, and doesn't destroy
anything like it used to.
