Re: *print-right-margin* ineffective for write

*print-right-margin* affects file ports:

Whoops, sorry about that slice of misinformation! I got confused with the various pretty printing modes in PrettyWriter. Somebody (I assume Per) must have considered the issue, since there is an unused constructor in PrettyWriter that sets the pretty printing mode to zero if the given length length is <= 1, this idea just hasn't trickled into some sort of dynamic handling for *print-right-margin*.

I agree that negative values are good to identify when
*print-right-margin* should be disabled; perhaps additionally:

#f = disable (same as e.g. -1 or -42)
#t = enable w/ hard-coded default (same as #!null)

I think that's sensible.

Thanks,
Charlie.
