After finding that =3Dfill-paragraph=3D has regressed again, I threw
together a quick hack to allow for creating unit tests in orgmode. The
result is at [1].

This simply lets you create an org file like so:

#+BEGIN_SRC org
  ,* Test heading
    ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
      (org-test-def org-test-fill-paragraph
        "Test filling paragraphs"
        (fill-paragraph))
    ,#+END_SRC

  ,** Before                                                  :before:
     =E2=81=81Lorem
     Ipsum
  ,** Expected                                              :expected:
     =E2=81=81Lorem Ipsum
#+END_SRC

put the point in the source block, hit =3DC-c C-c=3D and have it return

#+BEGIN_SRC org
  ,#+RESULTS:
  : t
#+END_SRC

The =3D=E2=81=81=3D character is =3Du+2041=3D, aka =3DCARET INSERTION POINT=
=3D, and notes
where point should be before and after running the code.

My idea is that this code could be refined to generate ERT tests
allowing orgmode to have a unit test suite.

What does everyone think?

P.S. I'm not on the list, so please include me in replies.
