Oh, OK, the problem was in the lines/column output, not with detecting
the doc strings themselves?
Yes, that sounds like a problem, but... I think we can live with
inaccurate lines here.

Yeah, I guess fill.el is a pretty far down in the list of things that
loadup.el loads?
However, we could make a super-simple function for filling doc

shouldn't take more than a few lines.
