I would prefer the default to be the current 8.2 behavior.  As long as
I can configure that easily it's not a huge deal, but I may have to
deal with some users whose ad hoc queries feed into spreadsheets or
some such that will be broken until they do something new.
 
I currently use \x to view results about once a month (on average).  I
expect to find wrapped columns useful about that often.  I cut and
paste multi-line unwrapped output from my console window practically
daily, and the wrapping would make that painful.  That just got me
thinking -- has anyone tried this out with EXPLAIN ANALYZE output yet?
