Now if my terminal is 78 characters it is a mess or if it is 100 characters it is wasting space. If you just don't wrap the lines my terminal does it at the right width.

Just tried it on a vintage early-80's 40-column terminal, and works better than I expected. I thought that a lot of words would be cut off on the right side, but the wrapping was about 90% correct. Perhaps it's just a coincidence, but this is what happened just now.
