My screen is 240 characters wide.  Split that into three follow-mode
windows, and those windows are 79, 79, 80 wide.  With much code being "a
bit less than 80" wide, that extra space might make for quite a few more
continued lines.

The extra space at the rim of the monitor does kind of stand out rather,
though.
