Currently Ledger seems to format output to a default width of 80
characters for register output. When generating such output in e.g. an
Emacs buffer in a standard 80 character wide terminal, each 80-
character line gets wrapped (because Emacs needs to insert a line-
wrapping marker at the end, so there is no space for the last 80th
character which has to go on a new line).

Would it make sense to limit the default output to 79 characters
instead to accomodate for editors having this behavior? It is just a
minor annoyance, but still an annoyance when you do e.g. M-! "ledger -
f data reg" and each entry is spread out over two lines, when ledger
clearly tries to put it on a single line by limiting it to 80
characters.
