That would make some sense if it weren't for the fact that the snippet of patch I just showed doesn't actually improve the situation for the lowest common denominator -- it only makes it worse for the rest of us.
Put real meaningful stuff within 80 columns by all means -- but please allow lines to be longer than that if they're just 'fluff'.
