That doesn't have to be the case. There can easily be lines longer than 80
characters, which only contain one statement o
I'd say it's primarily the 80-column terminal limit that is the
reasoning for this. I personally only go to 79 columns so that when I
work on a terminal and I type that 80th line the insertion pointer
doesn't wrap.
Aside from that, on my current monitor (1152 pixels wide), I can get 2
