Re:Tabs, spaces and your salary – how is it really? by concede_pluto on Tuesday June 20, 2017 @04:33PM (#14598356)
ConstructionItem::TableColumnFragment is 37 characters[1]. A style that permits huge identifiers like that should allow more than 2.2 identifiers per line and should not allow alignment that requires the eye to jump over that much whitespace and land on the correct line.

[1] not columns. Bitmapped displays don't have columns, and it's objectively measurable that humans read fixed-pitch fonts more slowly.
