Hi Mathieu,

Mathieu Othacehe <m.othacehe@gmail.com> skribis:

> +       ;; verbose.
> +       (setenv "COLUMNS" "200")

What about instead doing something like this:

  (use-modules ((system repl debug) #:select (terminal-width)))

  (with-fluids ((terminal-width 200))
    =E2=80=A6)

?

That would ensure we=E2=80=99re only changing Guile=E2=80=99s notion of the=
 terminal
width and not interfering with other tools we might launch as child
processes.

Thoughts?
