If a function or procedure gets too long, or too deeply nested to fit in
a screenful, take some of the deeper code and move it to a separate procedure
or function.  This will leave more room for comments and blank lines, and if
the new modules are selected well, makes the program even easier to understand.

If a data structure initialization gets too long or complicated to fit on one
screen, find some way to modularize it, or read it in from a separate file.
