Thank you for reasoning your point.
After doing additional research, I found that the `rulers` is used
less, so I decided to not add it.
I updated the patch and log message. For sure I included details about
support in different editors to the code and log message.
[[[
Specify guidelines and max_line_length properties from the EditorConfig.
Set the `guidelines` and `max_line_length` properties to 79 symbols from the
EditorConfig file. These properties are not commonly supported by editors [1],
[2]. The value `79 symbols` is described in the community guidelines, so these
properties in the EditorConfig file would help us to follow the rule.
[1] The `max_line_length` property is supported by Emacs, Vim, Neovim, Atom,
JetBrains IDEs, Kakoune, and Prettier.
[2] The `guidelines` property is supported by Visual Studio with
EditorConfig Guidelines or Editor Guidelines extensions.
* .editorconfig:
(guidelines, max_line_length): Set these properties to 79 symbols.
