I am not sure about Roland. I like to have a 79 (not 80) character limit
in general but exceptions for the folowing problems:
- Long string literals
- Some computations and logical expressions

If you argue with terminals, you need to reduce the width to 79 as many
terminals cannot correctly display 80 columns.
How about: echo '^[[?3h'?
BTW: I do not believe that code with > 79 characters is more readable
but in a few exceptions, it is.
What would happen if someone did write this:
if (dp == ¬able) {
/* BEGIN CSTYLED */
printf("Manufacturer is unknown because of the orange forum
embargo.\n");
printf("As the orange forum likes to get money for recent
information,\n");
printf("it may be that this media does not use illegal
manufacturer coding.\n");
/* END CSTYLED */
}
