I don't understand - can you give a hands-on example
for me (us) to try? Like provide the piece of code or
documentation that you cannot comment/fill they way you
want it?

You probably know of comment-dwim which is M-; (because
";" is the comment delimiter for Lisp) - you can use
mark-paragraph (`M-h') or some other way to indicate
what should be commented. Then just hit `M-;' - and
filling with M-q preserves the comment.

What I can see it works great. (?)
