Is 78 characters still a good option? Was: [Haskell-cafe] breaking too long lines

[Miguel Mitrofanov]

Something like

newtype MyCoolMonad = MyCoolMonad (FirstTransformer (SecondTransformer  
(ThirdTransformer Whatever))) deriving (Functor, Monad, FirstClass,  
SecondClass, ThirdClass, SomeOtherClass)

Nobody would be really interested in "deriving" clause, because it  
basically says "derive everything possible". Therefore, it seems  
pointless to move it to another line.
