i'd love to have that coupled with some check for too deep indentation. 
About half of the col-80 warnings i see are due to genuinely 
over-complex (and to-be-fixed) code.

Too bad that _those_ get ignored (because it's hard to fix) - while 
strings get broken up (because it's easy to 'fix') ;-)

So i'd very very much love to see some common-sense check for excessive 
indentation, and drop the col-80 warning altogether.
