I get compiler warnings:

print.c: In function 'print_aligned_vertical':
print.c:1238: warning: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code
print.c: In function 'print_aligned_vertical':
print.c:1238: warning: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code

But I really like this and am already benefiting from it. No point in
having the string of hyphens between every record wrap to be 30 lines long
just because one field somewhere down the list does so. And configuring
the pager isn't much of a solution because the pager doesn't know that the
hyphens are semantically different than the other stuff getting thrown at
it.
