Please don't change this.  AFAIK, "doc string" is correct and
preferred[1,2].  It's Richard's preferred spelling since ages:

emacs/lisp$ grep-changelog --author=Stallman --text='doc string'|grep -c '^[12]'
66

emacs/lisp$ grep-changelog --author=Stallman --text='docstring'|head -n1
1997-04-22  Richard Stallman  <rms@psilocin.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

Thanks for fixing the typo in `nnml-use-compressed-files'.

Bye, Reiner.

[2] I don't insist to change "docstring" to "doc string" in the
    ChangeLogs, though.
