I'm against putting any limit on this because, again, it's a bikeshed
issue and having any official rule at all is IMHO just plain silly. If
I were to vote, though, I'd vote for a soft limit of 80 characters. By
"soft" I mean that if a line is a few characters over here and there
it's fine, but you shouldn't make a habit of it and if you add a level
of indentation to some code and now a few lines are a few characters
over, you don't need to go crazy reformatting those lines.

We have a pull request
(https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/27) with at
least one line that is 195 characters long and others of comparable
lengths.
I think as far as presenting arguments the ship has sailed. Let's now
agree on a maximum line length. What should that be? 80? (Yes please.)
100? 120? Give me your vote for a number, but please let's avoid
reviewing telex rolls going forward.
Thanks,
Andrei
