Sorry for the lack of clarity.  I believe well-formatted code can
contain long lines.  For example, sometimes a message + the printf to
print it and indentation move past the right margin.

If I wasn't talking about long lines, why would I have replied in the
first place?

We agree here.  So, does someone who actually wants this change want to
propose a patch? :)

Hope that helps,
