wrapWord is broken

[stavalfi]

I may not use this feature correctly but I don't want to set every column-width to some constant value.

  table(

wrapWord just says "break text near word-break". You need to column width.

See this example:

@gajus thanks for the quick response.

I think you missed the hole point of this issue: I don't want to specify custom width.

I want a responsive table based on the terminal size.

That's not a feature. But, it sounds a reasonable ask.

We could add option audoWrap. PR would be accepted.

@gajus thanks.

can you reopen?
