You're right.

Here the impact is felt immediately, probably because of the way I build
Emacs.  Inserting 72 spaces doesn't make much sense anyway, so this is
not what's bothering me.  But here inserting _any_ character with auto
filling turned on is a pain.  I'm usually typing 2 to 3 characters ahead
of what I see on screen.

I'll now revise the way I build.  If this cures the problem, let's not
bother too much about the column 72 problem.

If nothing else I at least found a way to get my doc-strings fixed ;-)

Thanks, martin
