Subject: pretty-print #:width option
Date: Fri, 07 Nov 2003 09:52:52 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k76dqckr.fsf@zip.com.au> (raw)

Looking at the new #:width option on pretty-print, I noticed

	(use-modules (ice-9 pretty-print))
	(pretty-print (make-list 25 'x) #:width 1000)

gives

	(x x
	   x
	   ...
	   x)

where I hoped, with such a big width, to get one line

	(x x x ... x)

Nosing around the code I guess max-expr-width is putting a hard limit
of 50 columns on "expressions" like this.

Doesn't seem terribly logical, but perhaps there's some reasoning
behind it.  #:width works to reduce the permitted columns at least.
