I wonder if we just shouldn't ignore all line lengths in testcases (or
perhaps any coding style whatsoever). Some testcases are meant to be
formatted more-less according to our coding style (but, e.g.
/* PR tree-optimization/12345 */
comments never end with . and 2 spaces), except for dg- directives, but
others are entered in whatever form they came from the reporter.
