[Haskell-cafe] Optimal line length for haskell

There was a recent discussion on the python list regarding maximum line
length.
It occured to me that beautiful haskell programs tend to be plump (ie have
long lines) compared to other languages whose programs are 'skinnier'.
My thoughts on this are at
http://blog.languager.org/2012/10/layout-imperative-in-functional.html.

Are there more striking examples than the lexer from the standard prelude?
[Or any other thoughts/opinions :-) ]

Thanks,
Rusi
