I'm not impressed by that argument. For the files I have mentioned, it
does not matter very much to me if you and some random person think that
100 columns might *slightly* improve readability.

Quoting coding-style

  Statements longer than 80 columns should be broken into sensible chunks,
  unless exceeding 80 columns significantly increases readability and does
  not hide information.

Notice that word? *significantly*

Why do I even have to speak up about this? WTF?

For the patches that touch files that I originally wrote [1], my
preference should be clear by now.

Cheers,
Peter
