That very much depends on the circumstances. If the line can be easily
and cleanly broken we should stick to 80. If it would break coding style
and/or not align properly I'm fine with exceding it.

In the patch above, most of the changes breaking the argument on a
second line are fine, but the line which breaks up the 'for' loop is not
okay in this regard, since most for loops are with all three arguments
on a single line.

The 80 col boudnary has a good buffer zone until it starts running into
border of various users and still motivates us to keep the lines short.
