If I run fill-region on a buffer, there's a lot of errors where the
lack of element awareness means filling is attempted on text that does
not fill properly, such as property drawers, keywords, and even
src-blocks without newline separations.  The result requires way too
much cleanup.

It is critical to be able to unfill documents for people to migrate
off of hard newlines and onto visual line mode with variable pitched
fonts.

I could probably convert this to a region-based command and we could
shadow fill-region.  It might be slightly tricky to deal with the
region if it overlaps elements, but if I had to do it now, I would
make the inclusion of part of an element include all of that element.
