I have little of this in mind when proposing this feature.

It is more about if a long document has to be written with each
paragraph in one single line, how to make the editing slightly more
tolerable when one chooses to use visual-line-mode. Think of using emacs
as a poor word processor if you like.

Anyway, let's move on, let's forget about this.
