Thanks @Richard and @Dennis for the trips down 'memory lane'. Yes, there
were several different applications for the last (and first) columns on
punched-cards.

What I really meant was: <<<I can't remember why *Python (PEP-8) settled
on the* "79">>>, as opposed to the full, 'round', 80 (or some other
number of columns) - hence the "\" comment...
