At the start of a paragraph, hfills and hspaces are _not_discarded.

hfills at the end of a paragraph are expanded.
I think what the old mechanism tried to do is to symbolize that a hfill at
the end of a row only has a visual effect if it follows some material that
is shifted by preceding hfills.
I.e.
\hfill{}Text\hfill{}
is symbolized as
|---------------------------------------|Text|---------------------------------------|
whereas
Text\hfill{}
is symbolized as
Text|-|
since
Text\hfill{}
produces the same output as
Text
whereas
\hfill{}Text\hfill{}
difffers from
\hfill{}Text
Having said that, the output goes wrong in flushright and centered
paragraphs, where the hfill has a visible effect.
So it would probably be better to alsways expand hfills at paragraph end
(if I have not missed something).
