Research direction
Investigate the formatting logic for the `gqq` command in the VSCodeVim extension. Look at the source code in the repository, particularly files related to text formatting and the `gq` operation. Compare the current behavior with the expected Vim behavior as described. Check if there are any changes to the relevant code since the issue was filed.
