"""this is a ......................................................... long line"""

is better than
"""this is a ..................

I think this issue is in upstream /pocket-lint which uses upstream /pep8. Fixing this requires getting /pep8 to accept that docstrings deserve an exception from bary's own line length rules, or we make out own lint again.

Pep-8 makes a nod in this direction itself.
