There are fill-{paragraph, column}, but I didn't find an unfill command,
can we add them (maybe in fill.el)?

(defun unfill-paragraph ()
  "Replace newline characters in current paragraph by single spaces.

This command does the inverse of `fill-paragraph'."
  (interactive)
  (let ((fill-column most-positive-fixnum))
    (fill-paragraph nil)))

(defun unfill-region (beg end)
  "Replace newline characters in region by single spaces.

If called non-interactively, BEG and END are the beginning and end of
the text to unfill.
This command does the inverse of `fill-region'."
  (interactive "r")
  (let ((fill-column most-positive-fixnum))
    (fill-region beg end)))
