Moving paragraphs instead of lines

[Rick Moynihan <rick@calicojack.co.uk>]

When the cursor is positioned within a paragraph would M-<up> and 
M-<down> not be better set to move the current paragraph above or below 
it's surrounding paragraphs respectively?

e.g.  When the point is positioned in the following outline, would a 
M-<up> not be better moving the foo paragraph above the bar one, rather 
than just repositioning the 6-foo line?

* Outline

bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar
bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar
bar bar bar bar bar

foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo
foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo
foo foo foo foo foo foo | <-- point

I could see such operations being restricted to only operate with the 
current outline level.  I realise the M-<up>/<down> behaviour when on an 
outline is correct, but I see little need in repositioning lines within 
a paragraph if the user is using M-q to wrap paragraphs, as I do. 
Moving the paragraph here would surely make more sense.
