Thanks; applied to Emacs 28.

Indeed.  I have a new machinery for doing tests like this waiting for
Emacs 29 development to commence to fix this awkwardness.

Oops, sorry.

We never put two statements on the same line like that, so I added a
newline there (and some other stylistic fixes, like changing the `and' to
a when (the `and' is logical here (since we're doing a predicate), but
we prefer `when' when it's a long and involved body).
