40 characters is disgustingly narrow. We may need to cut examples to that sort of length for the sake of e-books, but I'm willing to bet that something like 3/4 of the examples would have to be wrapped because of that. It's a serious downgrade for anyone reading them on a computer. - Jonathan M Davis
