This project is unaffiliated with Twilio Segment.\n\u003e \n\u003e The original code will remain available and the terms of the license will not be changed.\n\n## Motivation\n\nThe standard Go formatting tools (`gofmt`, `goimports`, etc.) are great, but\n[deliberately don\u0027t shorten long lines](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/11915);\ninstead, this is an activity left to developers.\n\nWhile there are different tastes when it comes to line lengths in go, we\u0027ve generally found\nthat very long lines are more difficult to read than their shortened alternatives. As an example:\n\n```go\nmyMap := map[string]string{\"first key\": \"first value\", \"second key\": \"second value\", \"third key\": \"third value\", \"fourth key\": \"fourth value\", \"fifth key\": \"fifth value\"}\n```\n\nvs.\n\n```go\nmyMap := map[string]string{\n\t\"first key\": \"first value\",\n\t\"second key\": \"second value\",\n\t\"third key\":",
