I don't see the change doing that, but I could be wrong. In
practice, I've only seen this added to less than a dozen lines.
You are right, this message does not appear often. I had overlooked
that point. Therefore, putting it on a separate line would be ok.
Assume the change I already sent you is installed. Would it be better
to put that message on a separate line?
I think so. 1) It leaves more room (flexibility) for possible future
changes. 2) It helps frame-fitting (and window-fitting?) code to DTRT.
Whenever possible, it's good to have *Help* buffer (and *Apropos* etc.) text
respect a max line length. Code that does things to these buffers or their
windows or frames can then more easily DTRT.
BTW, is there a command/function that fits windows (not frames), resizing
them not only vertically but also horizontally? That might be useful for
some buffers with consistently short lines.
