[texhax] Checking the length of paragraph last line

Fifteen or so years back, someone came up with a macro that would, in 
effect, measure the last line of a paragraph so that you could decide 
whether to put an identifying tag (like an author's name) in the white 
space after a short final line or on the next line if the paragraph 
final line stretched near the right margin. 

                       ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
                       pppp                                           
nnnnnnnnn

or

                      pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
                      ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
                                                                         
nnnnnnnnnn

Does anyone remember this? or have a copy of the macro available?
