Thanks again.  I added \raggedleft, but I made the default skip the same
as \raggedright, namely a mere 0pt plus 2em, for uniformity.  In my
tests it didn't seem to matter much; TeX liked to make short last lines
regardless.  Even with \parfillskip zero, of course.

Also, changing \parskip here didn't make sense to me; that seems
independent.  I did make it reset \parindent to zero though, since that
extra glue didn't seem right in principle, although I suspect it makes
little difference in practice.

I'll plan to make a new release sometime early in the new year.

Best,
Karl
