1. Thanks for reporting this.

2. Seriously?  pp.el now has a function named
"pp-28"?  And the (only? best?) way to prevent
filling and obtain the longstanding behavior is
to bind `pp-default-function' to `pp-28'?  What
kind of progress is this?

What happened to adding new behavior as optional?

PP _defaults_ to filling now?  Since when does
pretty-printing, in general, imply filling?
