Sorry, but the patch I sent is no good. Filling something that was
pretty-printed destroys pretty-printing (duh).
The problem remains. It is that `pp' prints a flat list using a very
large width, which is inappropriate for buffer *Help* etc.
One solution might be to have a variable controlling the max width
(when possible) for pretty-printing, much as we have vars to control the
print-length etc.
