i admit that this thread is not spin off from normal code. i just dont 
recognize how: 

LYXERR(level, "blabla" << x->variable << "blablabla"
        << y->var << "blabla" << z->variable);

is more readable than

LYXERR(level, "blabla" << x->variable << "blablabla" << y->var << "blabla" << 
z->variable);

the connects are another example and while they maybe not "normal" code they
occur often in GuiXXX sources and i recognized more times that it distrubs me
when going through the sources by allocating lot of space by trivial ballast
which can be two times smaller.

that said if you agree on those few exception from 80 rule then i'll be
satisfied with such outcome of our flame.
