Re: [Orgmode] Moving paragraphs instead of lines

Paragraph definitions are complex in Org-mode, because of
plain lists, tables etc.  I think that moving paragraphs in this way
would lead to surprising results too often, so I will not implement
this suggestion.

Thanks.

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.
