It sure is a great tool, with a lot of useful functionality. But the
new paragraph fill breaks my old workflows, so I am trying to find a
way around that (preferably the easiest ;-). Is there some way or
setting to tell org that in a node or perhaps all nodes in a subtree
it should apply the adaptive fill from fill.el to text paragraphs, so
that the fill-prefix is automatically recognized like in fundamental
and text mode? Or is there some function that I can call (and bind to
some key combination) to apply the old paragraph fill to some text
paragraph?  So that plain text paragraphs and citations that don't use
any org features can be filled in the old way.

The word "standard" was meant in the following sense: "Adaptive Fill"
that automatically recognizes a fill-prefix is available and enabled
by default in the basic text editing modes of Emacs like
fundamental-mode and text-mode.

The org manual says "Many users reported they had problems using both
'filladapt.el' and Org mode", so I'm not very enthusiastic about
embarking on that route.
