        prettier.

Wrapping output lines
Output that goes through printf_filtered or fputs_filtered or
fputs_demangled needs only to have calls to wrap_here() added
in places that would be good breaking points. The utility routines
will take care of actually wrapping if the line width is exceeded.
The argument to wrap_here() is an indentation string which is printed
ONLY if the line breaks there. This argument is saved away and used
later. It must remain valid until the next call to wrap_here() or
until a newline has been printed through the *_filtered functions.
Don't pass in a local variable and then return!
It is usually best to call wrap_here() after printing a comma or space.
If you call it before printing a space, make sure that your indentation
properly accounts for the leading space that will print if the line wraps
there.
