I have been traveling and packing. I'm replying now but won't have time
to address the issues until next week. I was trying to avoid doing any
of this but touched code which was horrendously misstyled and chained
into reindenting the whole file and doing it wrong :). At this point I
don't want to tweak this much more.

Woops.

It is a multi-line statement due to the hard 80-width wrap. I feel it is
fine in this case.

I agree 100%. I did it because of our hard 80-width cut-off. What would
the proper style be? My inclination would be to wrap at the first comma
but then it is even more odd. I find our 80-width cut-off to be strange
when editors/tmux/window manager/etc can resize and wrap long lines already.

Actually I don't see a width restriction in style(9) at all but surely
we have this rule documented somewhere. My guess is that it is inherited
by KNF.

Do you have an indent configuration I can use?

I did a minimal effort on comments and didn't clean up grammar or
breaks. I have not adopted 2 space breaks into my style(9) conformation yet.

I'm do not see how this was proper before or how it is worse now. The
indentation is tabs and then 4 spaces. I don't see exceptions to this in
style(9) or in other code.

Again, this broke the 80-width limit. I preferred the old way but was
going on down the 80-width line on my screen fixing violations.

I suggest we update our styles to not require this awful wrapping. It
makes `grep -r` very difficult when strings are split up. Perhaps I am
mistaken on the rule but we have a lot of code that needlessly wraps early.
