Of course, just because the language allows very long lines, does not mean
you should use them. If for no other reasons than they make it very difficult
to read your code. Even if you have automatic line wrapping in the editor
you view the code with, if you want to debug the code, the line numbers you
can specify in gdb or any other debugger won't reflect wrapping that is not
in the source code itself.
