"C-x 4 a" knows how to concatenate several symbols. You just need to
leave point after the closing parenthesis. Like so: first C-x 4 a
inserts this:
* ido.el (ido-everywhere):

leaving point where I indicated. Then the next C-x 4 a adds another
symbol:
* ido.el (ido-everywhere, ido-mode):
^
Now you are ready to type "Doc fixes.".
Nice. Thanks Eli. The manual didn't mention this specific behavior, so I
added a little section. See patch below.
I also added a reference to `add-log-full-name' in the changelog format
section. `add-log-mailing-address' was already referenced, but I was
trying to figure out how Change Log mode knows my name. This information
was missing.
I don't know what the etiquette is for adding examples like the
Changelog entry below. The example is made up (copied and modified from
another example in the format section).
