Re: bounds-of-thing-at-point for paragraphs

[Christopher Dimech]

We should include ones that come to our minds would be useful, particularly 
those
customarily dealt by users. Linguistic structures are an example since many 
Emacs
users deal with words, sentences, and paragraphs on a daily basis.

More documentation is more useful than less documentation.  We can keep the more
exotic things off the list.  Especially THINGS coming from outer space.
