The limits in ARM 2.2(14) apply to line length and (separately, IMO) to
lexical element length. While 200 characters is IMO overkill for an
identifier, which is a lexical element, it is not overkill for a string
literal, which is also a lexical element.
I could live with, say, a 32-character identifier length limit, but a
32-character limit on string literal would be uncomfortable, to say it
nicely. The 200-character requirement in ARM 2.2(14) feels about right
to me.
