Auto-wrapping has been considered and wouldn't even be too hard to do,
if one could decide where to wrap. With only three columns it would be
fairly easy to decide that the one that take more than half the screen
should be wrapped.

But say you have five integer columns and 6 text columns, when do you
wrap? I've been thinking it might be easiest to be able to say "wrap
any column wider than <variable>". Setting that to half the screen
width would probably work well in most situations...

Have a nice day.
