Thanks, I made the lines shorter in the template used for
auto-generated doc strings.

These doc strings are much wider than the convention calls for:
 
global-auto-composition-mode (104 chars)
global-font-lock-mode (90 chars; other lines are also too long)
 
These two appear in nearly every use of `C-h m', making the help display
much wider than is called for.
