Re: Docstring line length

   The reason given for 67 for the first line was apparently its appearance in
   *Apropos*. I don't see the point of this. The doc string is prepended by 11

   guideline for other lines than the first should then be 67+12=79, not 60.

You apparently resize your frames to fit the buffer.  But most people
use fixed 80 column frames.  Hence, the desirability for lines to be
strictly less than 80 characters.
