I agree this is a minor feature, which is why I added the documentation
into a subsubsection.  However, I'd like to provide users with
information about what is the meaning of "semantic linefeeds" and how to
use them in Emacs.

I believe that having information about `fill-paragraph-semlf',
`fill-region-as-paragraph-semlf' and `fill-region-as-paragraph-function'
side by side makes it easier to understand the different ways in which
users can use the feature.

I also agree that the first version was too verbose.  What do you think
of this new version?
