Description

I'm finding the 92 line limit very restrictive and forcing breaks more often than not. Between giving a function a meaningful parameter name and typing it you're more often than not breaking this line with a couple parameters.

I'd propose increasing this line length to 120, it allows you to reasonably read two files side-by-side in an editor. I think this is goes a bit hand in hand with #76 and I think makes things easier to read.

Some Linus thoughts from a fixed 80 character limit.

Start by locating the style-guide rule that sets the current 92 line limit, then read the discussion on #76 for related context. Done means the documented limit is consistently updated to 120 and any affected guidance remains coherent.
