they help to auto-fill strings also, but don't help with (my lack of
knowledge about) proper sentences handling
I live in emacs but was still not aware (among too much other things) of
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Sentences.html#Sentences
IMHO we need to add this info in
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Synopses-and-Descriptions.html#Synopses-and-Descriptions
(valid for non-emacs users also)
I can send a patch if agreed :-)
