I've sat quietly by until now, but I feel I can
do so no longer. There most certainly is a
fairly common need to treat 1st, others, and
last lines differently, to produce the following
visual effect :
111111111111111111111111111
2222222222222222222222222222
3333333333333333333333333333
4444444444444444444444444444
5555555555555555555555555555
This is used (for example) in typesetting
very long chapter headings, and for typesetting
very long entries in Tables of Contents and
in Indices. Thus although I find Andrés'
argument weak, I do believe there is a case
for providing access to these three components
of a virtual paragraph.
