I don't think so.  The former is a much simpler problem, because it
has to do with text that normally isn't edited nor submitted to
external programs.  It is basically a problem of concatenating strings
subject to certain restrictions wrt their layout on the screen, like
"make str1 display to the left of str2".

The latter problem is much harder, because it needs a capability to
reorder only certain portions of a buffer.
