Yes, it goes in the same direction of my TODO of adding more hooks to
control various aspects of filling.  (One of) Those hooks should make it
easy to write such a minor mode.

LGTM.

Side comment, tho: it would be good to get rid of the `with-restriction`
so that the code can see the surrounding text.  In the past such
restrictions in `fill.el` have posed problems for example when we want
to refill code in a way that obeys indentation rules or that
needs to distinguish filling within strings vs filling within comments.
