   Yeah, but M-q is pretty easy to type.  If you don't want to stick the
   long line to its neighbors, type C-@ C-a M-g for 3 characters.  If you
   have to preserve whitespace within the line but break it anyway, then
   C-x ( SPC DEL C-U 4 0 C-x ) for 9 characters (erasing all the spaces
   to boot).

   The do-auto-fill function which eventually gets called by SPC contains
   no loops, whereas the fill-region family must.  I think the slowdown
   of calling the latter every SPC might be a bit gruesome.  So I'd vote
   to leave things as they are.  Who types 3000-character lines anyway?
   :-)

M-q fills the paragraph.  I don't want to fill the paragraph; I want to make
the damned line fit on the screen.  I most often have this problem when
joining two lines, and then wanting to split the new (single) line to fit
within fill-column.
