Caveat: Some of these long lines (in particular, those with names
"*-mode") will not appear too long when displayed in the proper mode -
e.g. \\[...]  strings that I saw as `M-x...' but which are normally
displayed as shorter key bindings. Nevertheless, they are all probably
worth checking, to be sure.
