OT

Fergeddiboudit!

:-)

OT, but as serious as death: reading and comprehending any document displayed at your requested length (possible exception: spreadsheets or other data using multi-column records) is generally more difficult that with shorter (much shorter) displayed-width. Imagine, if you will trying to read (or even just scan) a newpaper in which the text of each story occupies the full width of the page. Consider all the (recent) research on the relationship between line length and readability or - without the academic overburden -- try, for example, one of the practicality-oriented hits from big G. For a more exhaustive list, search on "readability relationship to width" ( https://www.google.com/search?q=readability+relationship+to+width )

Update/afterthought: I realize there's 'no accounting for taste' but unless you're the only user of this module, you might want to rethink your plan, on behalf of other users who may prefer 76 chars or have a narrower window to read your docs.
