And just why is that important? If there is room for it given the value of `fill-column', such filling makes sense - a good thing, not a bad thing. Sure, it would be best if a keyword and its value were always (`fill-column' permitting) on the same line. But that's a nice-to-have - it should not be the first priority or the reason for mangling filling of doc strings. Anyway, the #7751 bug report is not about that, at all. It's about using `M-q' on a _doc string_. It's not about using `M-q' on a sexp such as you present above (which has no strings at all). Let's not take a detour. If the current code does not distinguish the doc-string case, maybe it should.
