I don't agree with this suggestion, at least as it is written. If the
existing code won't change, then we will have parts of the codebase with
a different style than others. The goal of having a code style is not
much about the individual decisions, but about consistency.
Also, what would happen if you change code in an existing file? Would
you need to fit it in 80 columns, 100 columns? Our .clang-format file
would format the code using 100 columns, so it'll probably do the wrong
thing by default.
It all seems unnecessary complexity to me.
