Yeah, it's not a very good reason, but it is one of the reasons for the
current style. Having a symmetic margin/indent is a better reason in my
opinion.

What do people think about adding a local-variables block at the bottom
of each file:

# Local Variables:
# fill-column: 76
# End:

We should also add the corresponding block for vim, I think.
