I've found that this is usually a very good point at which to ask myself
if the code in question can be refactored.  I'm not saying that I refactor
code just to make it fit into an 80 character width -- it's just that I
often don't notice how complex a routine is getting while I'm writing it,
unless I have some external prompt; and finding that I'm wrapping lots of
lines provides exactly the sort of reminder I need.
