Why are we imposing such an outdated rule? CLIs and text editors got the ability to automatically wrap text several decades ago.
In fact, they *lost* the ability to automatically wrap text.
They thought that was an acceptable tradeoff for gaining the ability to wrap *received* text if it was too long to fit. ^^^^^^^^
I've just proven why that's a bad tradeoff.
