Re: Proposed patch - psql wraps at window width

The newline handling code was, by far, the most complex part of this 
patch.  While I think it would be nicer to "filter up" past the newline, 
I just don't see this as a common need.  Large text fields with newlines 
are difficult to really view in psql anyway, and they are likely to be 
the longest columns in any given query.   Bottom line: not worth messing 
with.

I'm split on the new formatting style.  It looks a lot less "grid-like", 
which I might like once I get used to it (which will be a while, because 
I can't run my own patch in daily use, as my servers are too old).  I 
use a version of the wrapping patch that I backported to postgres 8.1, 
which was prior to multibyte support, and much much simpler.

I got this warning compiling:
print.c:784: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 
‘mb_strlen_max_width’ differ in signedness
And I did have trouble applying the patch -- I had to manually give it 
the filename, and tell it to reverse the patch.
