This is because major modes shouldn't rebind M-q; instead, they should set 
fill-paragraph-function.  I don't know of a good list of this a major-mode 
should redefine, so I sent one in a separate email.

Btw, this part of the manual looks wrong:

C-M-a invokes beginning-of-defun-function if available, so setting that 
variable is likely better than rebinding C-M-a.
