This I've been thinking of mentioning - how many people are stuck with
80 columns these days?  At work (I'm in a one man group now, so I define
the group's coding style :-), I use KNF but with 132 columns.  A fairly
arbitary number, but it fits comfortably on screen when I have to use a
1024x864 display and prints nicely in landscape on A4 paper...
