I find myself similarly annoyed with those long lines. I'm wondering if
transforming them into a somewhat tall header might be equally annoying..
maybe getting in the way of the actual stdout/stderr produced by the command.

But I think I'll give it a try. I'll apply it.. if people find the results
annoying, chime in and maybe we'll revert it at some point.

thanks!
