Some thoughts: * I'm not sure the terminal width will always be knowable, for example when using IDLE. * I often need smaller widths when printing short dicts and lists. The smaller widths better show the parallel structure. I think having it fill the width of my screen is rarely what I would want. * ISTM, this will cause reproducibility issues, esp for doctests.
