[Alexandre Fayolle <alexandre.fayolle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As someone who regularly has to work on a laptop with a not gigantic
screen, and with an eyesight which does not really give me the chance to
configure the fontsize of my code editor to "ridiculously tiny", I'd
really appreciate if we could stick to 79 cols as much as possible,
which enables me to compare two buffers side by side.

The source base of OpenERP is full of places where this width is
exceeded and it makes the life of people working on 17" screens
difficult for no good reasons imo.

Code is meant to be read by humans, and chaining calls on lines does not
improve readability.

Kind regards,

Alexandre
