One correspondent objected that I was artificial biasing my histogram because wrapped lines are, more-or-less by definition, going to be < 80 characters. Off-list I responded with a modified version of my graph where I eliminated all lines which ended in my preferred continuation characters (open paren-like things and commas). The resulting histogram is attached (count as a function of line length). This makes the "wasted space" argument even stronger. Generally, when I wrap a line, I wrap it fairly near the limit, so by eliminating them, the shorter lines stand out more clearly. Skip
