You could I suppose (though I don't know if that has any funny
interaction with the doc-string processing code), but people don't seem
to, and instead just let the line overflow.  Perhaps that's because
c-mode, if given the chance, will screw up the indentation of such a
line, so it can be a pain to _keep_ that way (e.g., if you type a */ at
the end the line, bang, c-mode will put the indentation back...).
