I agree with the limit on the length of lines: it should generally be shorter, more like 70 chars. That has nothing to do with terminal emulator width and everything to do with readability and the human eye.

But that width is the length of the line from its first character to its last: you do not sweep your eye over the indentation, so it should not count.
