Comment (by simonpj):

 In the module I'm editing today `rnStmtsWithFreeVars` has 18 characters,
 or 25% of my total column budget, not counting the (essential)
 indentation.

 I hear what you say about laptop screens, and I'll accept the Will of the
 majority, but 80 still seems terribly short to me.  In these days of wide-
 screen format for movies, can you really not get more than two columns of
 80 chars?
