[RFC] Characters per line: from punch card (80) to line printer (132)

[James Secan]

All,

As a certified Old Guy (coding in FORTRAN since 1967) my default mode is to stop at 72 characters.  It would be nice to push the max out a bit, but I’ll most likely keep my lines (and my function and variable names!) short.  As always, brevity is the soul of wit.

And yes, please keep up the good work.
