It seems 80 columns is a good default for `split-width-threshold'.

I don't see how this would help to decide whether to split a window
vertically or horizontally, or to display a buffer in a new window.
For example:
+----------------+--------------------------------+
| | |
| 80 columns | 160 columns |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
+----------------+--------------------------------+
When the right window is wide enough to be split horizontally,
and point is in the left window, what is the best to do here?
1. display a buffer in the right window without splitting it;
2. split the wide right window horizontally and display a buffer
in a new window;
3. split the left window vertically (this option is preferable
for some buffers, e.g. for calendar)
And how to express these preferences using user options?
