This confuses lines and statements: the limit
for statements is ( 39 + 1) * 132 (arithmetic
left as an exercise :-). This is the initial line,
plus 39 continuation lines, times the number
of characters per _line_.
With Fortran 2003, the number of continuation lines
war raised to 255 continuations.
Note also that if a line contains characters other
than the default kind (unlikely today but possible),
then the number of characters per line is processor-
dependent. For example, if a line has unicode-16
characters, a processor may consider each unicode
character to be two ascii characters for the purposes
of buffering the lines into a statement.
So the statement
label = "unicode-16 title of graph"
has a processor dependent maximum length.
A statement may span several lines, a line may contain
several statements.
