They may do that in the end but there are some issues. One has always been the number of third party tools that mine the compiler listing for data. Assuming the listing still has to fit in 132 (there has to be some finite limit for that) then the compiler would have to line wrap and that could present additional challenges for the miners. Not impossible but the downside has tended to outweigh the plus.
