Hi,

When you break 80+ lines into two lines, you should also
indent the newly created line so that it shows that it is a part of something.
I as well don't think it is worth splitting lines that are 84 characters long into
two lines, that just doesn't make sense.

Also, your patch seems (atleast to me) a 'bit' whitespace damaged.
