Glad it wasn't just me.  I feel guilty if I'm the only one requesting
the feature.  Now that you've implemented it, are you using
orgstruct++-mode?

Maybe it makes sense for people who still cling to the idea that there
are useful modes outside of org-mode ;)

Yes, I almost never want to use `message-newline-and-reformat'.

Did not know about `run-like-in-org-mode'.  Very cool.

I use this full time in text-based modes now.  It's especially great for
composing emails (message-mode) and editing commit messages
(magit-log-edit-mode).

Thanks for adding this feature.  I understand why it can't be the
default, but I would encourage folks to try it.  It works really well
for me.

Have a good one,
