I am building a package.  I discovered that all \usage{} and
\examples{} in the .Rd file that are too long to fit on the .dvi page
are left as is.  They run over the edge of the page and just keep on
going.

I propose that a WARNING or ERROR be generated as part of Rcmd check
for such cases.

The "test <-" line and both "test(" lines below are single lines.
My mailer folds at about 100 characters.
