I really dislike long lines, but FWIW the above "chopped up" string, is
no better than the auto-wrapped one, really (i.e. while it does stick to
the letter of the 80-column rule, it doesn't help with the underlying
problem).
In order to do better, you need to use `concat', cut it into logical
units, properly indented, ...
