Actually, this last one will change in Emacs-24 to "turn it on", so if
you want to toggle it reliably from Elisp, you should instead do one of:

  (auto-fill-mode 'toggle)      ; May fail in older Emacsen.
  (call-interactively 'auto-fill-mode) ; will behave slightly differently.
  (auto-fill-mode (if auto-fill-function -1 1))
