Any linter or project that treats PEP 8 as mandatory has *already*
failed, as PEP 8 itself states that the rules can be broken as needed.
Of course individual projects are entirely allowed to impose whatever
draconian and inflexible rules they choose on source code formatting,
but please don't pretend that PEP 8 made you do it ;-)
