Thanks for offering. My patch is attached. I'm not sure if this breaks
things if e.g. you're not using a pager or some other output
situations I haven't thought of. But you offered to test, so I'll let
you do that. :P
Also, for anyone checking my C++: I made the compact_format variable
visible in two more TUs besides its original pr-output.cc. Yes! A
global variable! ;-) But I think it's ok to pollute the global
namespace a little here.
