For whatever my 2c are worth I think this would be nice. I'm still
uncomfortable at having to call `options` in my package `diffobj` to set output
width.
And since the topic is here, what about `show`? Feels like it should accept
`...` so that it too could be given some set of standard or non standard
parameters, including `width`.
Happy new decade.

One of the things I often wish R would work with:
When calling print() explicitly --- as I do not so rarely, e.g.,
specifying digits = <nd> ---
it sometimes seems awkward that from the printing options() ,
one can specify 'digits' and it has default digits = NULL which is
documented to be equivalent to digits = getOption("digits"),
but one cannot specify 'width'
... well "even worse": one *can* specify 'width = .' but it is
silently ignored - as well documented on ?print.default
Before considering to add this for R 4.0.0, doing the work
myself, I'd quickly wanted to hear opinions / caveats / .. about this.
wishing you all a Happy New Year,
