[phobos] Column limits again

[David Simcha]

I'm against putting any limit on this because, again, it's a bikeshed 
issue and having any official rule at all is IMHO just plain silly.  If 
I were to vote, though, I'd vote for a soft limit of 80 characters.  By 
"soft" I mean that if a line is a few characters over here and there 
it's fine, but you shouldn't make a habit of it and if you add a level 
of indentation to some code and now a few lines are a few characters 
over, you don't need to go crazy reformatting those lines.
