I have to agree. Besides, extremely long lines with DejaGnu directives
often are a sign that something is amiss, e.g. long lists of targets
instead of an effective-target keyword describing what's common between
them or Tom's example which is way more readably handled via
dg-add-options as he's discovered in the meantime ;-)
