I do not mind.

Well, lots of people on the project were vocal on this issue (that lines in
our files should not cross 80-char boundary) on various occasions before, so
it is not solely my preference.  80 vs. 78 vs. 76 issue is harder one, but
if line is clearly longer than 80 chars after the whitespace only change
(and it was not like that before), it kinda suggests that perhaps it should
not be touched.
