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.
