Semantic Line Breaks

Please employ "semantic line breaks" here. I ask this because horizontal scrolling is the devil. (At least GitHub diffs don't do that anymore, but it can still happen in your text editor, depending on one's configuration.)

But seriously, the real reason is this: having multiple lines makes for easier diffing if you change a tiny part of a whole paragraph. See here for more.
