hanging punctuation

[CVS 2003-Apr-06]

Consider this paragraph:

  The file found in "include/freetype/config/ftoption.h" contains a
  list of commented configuration macros that can be toggled by
  developers to indicate which features should be active in their
  build of the library.

Set the right margin to 72 characters and do C-u M-q:

  The file found in "include/freetype/config/ftoption.h" contains a list
  of commented configuration macros that can be toggled by developers to
  indicate which features should be active in their build of the library.

Note the hanging final full stop.  Basically, this is very nice from a
typographical point of view, nevertheless, it is a bug since you can
replace the `.' with any other character and it still sticks out one
character.
