Well, the feature is labeled "psql wraps at window width". If the output
isn't on a window, then it shouldn't wrap. I certainly don't want the output
to a file to depend on the size of the window at the time.
Perhaps having a variable inside psql to control this explicitly could be
useful for the case you describe.
