#### maxLineLength
Whilst some developers are quite happy with their 4k UHD widescreen monitors, others are not so fortunate! In addition, code becomes far more readable when line lengths are short. The most compelling reason for short line lengths is to avoid the need to scroll when performing a side-by-side 'compare' between two files (eg as part of a GIT feature branch review).
In batch mode, long code lines may be truncated, causing very hard-to-detect errors.

The most compelling reason for short line lengths is to avoid the need to scroll when performing a side-by-side 'compare' between two files (eg as part of a GIT feature branch review).
