1. The doc string isn't clear at all wrt arguments NOSQUEEZE and
SQUEEZE-AFTER.  There's no explanation of what is meant by
canonicalizing spaces.

2. (elisp) `Filling' is OK for NOSQUEEZE: it says that non-nil means to
leave whitespace other than line breaks untouched.  But even that Elisp
doc punts for SQUEEZE-AFTER, saying a position value means "don't
canonicalize spaces before that position."  (That's the only occurrence
of "canonicalize" in this node.  No explanation.)
