Hi, Colin.  Thanks for the patches!

I played around with this set and different formatting options
and it seems like no matter what the end result doesn't look great.
What worse is that trying to make tables fit the 80 column width
actively makes them look way worse for all the larger widths,
because we end up with line wrapping inside the columns even if
we have enough space in the terminal.  And even hyphen-split long
names in the 'name' column.

So, I'm thinking, how bad it is if we just put 'nowarn' there
and keep all the tables as they were for many years now?
I know, it's a GNU extension, but at least BSD version claims to
simply ignore it, so that shouldn't cause any problems, IIUC.

What do you think?

If not going that route, then I'd suggest to at least not put
lines without extra_name into a text box, so they will not get
split in two lines.

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
