Hi all,

So ambs has been making a lot of source changes as suggested by
t/distro/linelength.t.  (And making them very well, I might add.)  Given the
nature of Parrot code, I think a bit wider would be OK.  Would anyone
currently hacking Parrot be significantly inconvenienced by having wider
lines?

BTW, this is NOT a style preference question.  The only reason I'm bugging
the list with this question is to solicit stories of "80 columns are the max
supported by <tool/hardware you're using>".  adTHANKSvance

Just to let you all know that:
1) normally I have more than 80 columns (phew)
2) linelength.t is configurable to, say, 100 columns :)
3) all C code is cutted right now. Missing some Perl source files, which
   are hard because they have big strings and cutting them make the code
   harder to read.

Cheers ;)
