These days one really should consider the right margin to be a virtual
concept -- there's really no valid reason not to have and use horizontal
scrolling (any code editor I'll ever use can do it on any display), and
even most any small-ish laptop can have a nice readable font at 50x132,
or even 50x160.  (i.e. that's another style guide rule that should die)
