Summary lines with dots are split even if within line length and merely using an abbrv.

Summary lines with dots are split even if within line length and merely using an abbrv.

See

def foo(my_num: float) -> float:
    """
    Use an abbrv. in the summary line.

    ....
    """

is split to

def foo(my_num: float) -> float:
    """
    Use an abbrv. 

    in the summary line.

    ....
    """

which is of course not as intended.

Thank you for opening the issue. I don't think this is distinguishable to an actual line end. (can't fix?)

[JoElfner]

Thank you for your quick reply.

Yeah, I guess so too. In this case I'd rather prefer having two short sentences in the summary line instead of breaking abbreviations, which are imho very frequently used - especially for short line lengths as 79 or 88.

@Pierre-Sassoulas @JoElfner I'm wondering if we can check before splitting on the period whether the line has two periods and fits under the line length?

That would be sort of a breaking change and somewhat unexpected, but much preferable in this case I think?

[Pierre-Sassoulas]

Yeap that sound reasonable.

Or if line ends with period and is within line length to be less explicit about the number of abbreviations resp. the abbreviations themselves and instead be more explicit about eol periods?

abbrv.
Let's f.i. have many abbrv. in one line.
