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.
