Tom's expressed in his coding standard docs an interest for having
long lines rather than wrapped ones, but based on the majority of
arch's code I get the impression that when deciding when/where to wrap
lines to favor readability than any simple coding conventions.

That said, if we decide to always wrap at 80 columns, I can adapt to
that.
