not speaking about vinum, but to me, the indentation of 8 char and
line length of 80 chars are almost mutually exclusive.

See e.g. tcp_input.c ip_input.c and many network device drivers as
an example -- basically all places where, for efficiency reasons,
the code tries to expand in-line various block, the depth of
indentation pushes everything to the right end leaving only 20-30
useful chars per line.
