// the final (potentially word-wrapped, potentially compressed) data. This could reduce total word-wrapping and compression work. (Such a potential improvement
// should be carefully measured for whether it is worth the complexity and potential bugs.) As such, it may make sense to coalesce the honored word wrap widths
// when formatting data below, into common groupings (such as rounding down to nearest multiple of 20 and enforcing a max) to increase those cache hits at the
// trade-off of not printing to the right-most characters of some terminal sizes. (This would probably look fine, generally.)
