The size
of the command name plus 4 characters of the "M-x " string should
define the maximum length of allowed substitutions, and if the command
is bound to several key, then to print as many keys as many of them
fits into this limit. For example:
That would be a big in convenience for the users.
It would burded those doc strings with inconvenient lists
that would make them harder to read.
