I agree. The logic is probably so in order to be able to justify
also indented paragraphs: paragraphs where all lines have leading
whitespace.

I've rewrapped them a bit, to make them fit their content. :)

It is one paragraph when autoindent is on. When autoindent is off, nano
sees the first line as a separate paragraph, just like pico does. And this
latter behaviour is the correct one, in my opinion.

True. Also I don't see why justifying should behave differently with
autoindent on and autoindent off. Chris? Any special reason for this?
