Hi Andras,

I wonder how such a function would look like.

Does anyone wants to try to write it?  Even pseudo-code would be fine at
this stage.

C-h v sentence-end TAB gives several variable that let the user change
the number of spaces after a sentence.  So I guess this is not really
"Emacs convention of writing ASCII", but a more general American
convention.

Would the values of sentence-end* be taken into account by the feature
you describe above?
