[Haskell-cafe] Re: Is 78 characters still a good option? Was: breaking too long lines

Putting commas in the front, better indicates the continuation, but the extra space following the open bracket "(" looks a bit odd. (Surely one could also leave a space before the closing bracket, although I wouldn't like spaces around all brackets.)

The alternative: (Functor, Monad, FirstClass, SecondClass, ThirdClass, SomeOtherClass)

has the disadvantage, that the second line is only indented by one character (relative to the previous one), but intending further (+1 or +3 or even one less) is an alternative.
