We don't follow 80 char limit and are not going to because of man pages.

And it's questionable in general to enforce line length for verbatim
(code) block. It's verbatim for a good reason, it can't be wrapped.

That's why instead of wrapping, I reduced the length of some "identifier".  It's not enforced, but it's nicer if it fits.  There are several other cases, where it wasn't easy to make it shorter, and I left it exceeding the margin.

It's not so crucial to fix it, and if you prefer it like it is currently, it's reasonable.  This is a suggestion, to make it easier to read.

As an example, you can see this commit recently applied to the man-pages:

<https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/commit/?id=e5da16f10f2d3d55db0bb1ef1156afcb197d8fdc>

I only made lines shorter in cases where no info was lost (including format).
