I remember that discussion, and I remember we agreed to update it to 79.
You're missing the point completely: the problem at hand is that
pgindent is failing to honor its width parameter in some situations.

This is just going to create a lot of gratutitous re-indents without
actually fixing the problem, because whatever bug is causing pgindent
to sometimes not honor the -l switch will still be there.
