Hmm, I meant "<= 80" the first time too, I was under the impression that
that's what CODING_STYLE asks for too, but, quoting:

Why not <= 80? Shouldn't the limit (i.e. "<=") be 80 columns, including
the 80-th? (this points me otherwise

I have no idea what (editing) tools have limitation at precisely which
line length. Hence I can't answer the "why". I can only refer to the
documented requirement, which aiui is pretty clear.

Without understanding the "why" we can't be sure we're doing the right
thing.
I was hoping someone else would provide feedback on this, as I'm almost
sure who wrote CODING_STYLE actually meant "less than or equal" instead
of "less than".
