OK. So stepping back a bit
1. We advise people to avoid exceeding 80 columns
2. A line can be easier to read without wrapping strictly at 80
columns but left as a single line, slightly going above the
limit..
3. Even with the second observation above, a line that is way
longer than 80 columns is not acceptably long.
Now, what is the line between the #2 and #3? If we set these "hard
limit" to that number, as long as the tool does not pack multiple
shorter lines into one line using that number as a limit, we'd be at
a happy place, I would imagine?
Thanks.
