Hi Guys,

I realise that the patch has already been applied, but it seems to me 
that adding a new switch to control the displaying of the full section 
name is wrong - I think that this ought to be controlled by the already 
existing "--wide" switch.  ie if you specify --wide on the command line 
you get the full section names and wider-than-80-character output, 
whereas if you omit the switch you get possibly truncated section names 
and restricted-to-a-maximum-of-80-characters output.

Cheers
   Nick
