Well, the feature is labeled "psql wraps at window width".  If the output 
isn't on a window, then it shouldn't wrap.  I certainly don't want the output 
to a file to depend on the size of the window at the time.

Perhaps having a variable inside psql to control this explicitly could be 
useful for the case you describe.
