Good points and convincing examples, thank you.  It's also easier to
describe the behavior that way: "`fill-paragraph' is enabled inside block
and flow scalars.  Text inside a block or flow scalar will be reflowed
as usual, with empty lines acting as paragraph boundaries."

I.e., your example would be reflowed like this (after `M-q' on the line
starting with "Create" or "and"), if I understood it correctly?

      Create a new foo and return a 201 with `Location:` header set.

      If the input data is invalid,
      return a 400 with a detailed error report.
