I don't think there is a need for a simplistic rule that is
strictly enforced.  Where have you seen such a need?

IOW, I'm not sure what problem you're trying to solve.

AFAIK we already enforce the complicated rule discretely by setting
`fill-column` to 70 in `.dir-locals.el` and by re-wrapping or
complaining about lines that pass the 80-column limit.
