Hi Andy,

regarding this patch and other places where you raise issues with line
breaking: I believe this is purely a question of taste. There are no
guidelines on line breaking in the docs. I will leave it as it is here
because it's not better or worse than your version, just different.
Same for exceeding 80 characters - I personally believe it's justified
when the line looks better but whenever it can be cleanly broken, it's
better to stay within the limit.

Best Regards,
Bartosz
