Yes.  Too much stuff assumes, in effect, that the representation of a field in
a protocol takes one line.

I've fixed the cases listed in the bug; some grepping didn't find other
examples, but perhaps the pattern I used (which assumed there was a
curly-bracket on the same line as the "\n" in a string) might not find all of
them.

I'll backport that, but the bug shouldn't be closed unless we either enhance
checkAPIs.pl or conclude it can't easily be enhanced.
