How can I force a terminal session of Mathematica to adapt to a resized terminal window, and not wrap text at the old terminal width?

This works but it is complicated:

SetOptions[First@Streams["stdout"], PageWidth -> First@Import["!tput cols", "List"]]

@halirutan Is it possible to support nested comments in the syntax highlighter?

Has anyone tackles this problem already?

Bug: this fails: Style["asd", GrayLevel[Log[2]]] this works: Style["asd", GrayLevel[N@Log[2]]]

Bug: Felicia is a girl's name, not a boy's name.

In[12]:= Interpreter["GivenName"]["Felicia"]["Gender"]
Out[12]= Entity["Gender", "Male"]

@Szabolcs He is gender-fluid..

@Szabolcs Which one?

@Szabolcs It's very curious how they get some things wrong. You'd think that it's just a matter of importing some database from somewhere; are mistakes like this common in name databases? Recently, I discovered that US counties now have FIPS codes in their entities. Before, FIPS codes were all either missing or wrong, now 90% are right. But why 90%? How did they get 10% wrong? Wikipedia, for example, has a list that is 100% correct.

@Szabolcs Without re-examining the code, I remember that it gave you only the possibility to define regexp's.

For nested comments we at least need a stack in some form.

Small question. No tricks, no performance, I just find it ugly as the pest.

A simple iterative approach is

makeF[l_] := With[{ll = Partition[Flatten@{-Infinity, l, Infinity}, 2, 1]},
  Function[e,
   Do[
    If[Between[e, ll[[i]]], Return[i]],
    {i, 1, Length[ll]}
    ]
   ]
  ]

I guess one could use MapIndexed to beautify it a bit, but don't we have anything short for this?

Or Piecewise is another option but in any case I cannot come up with something where I don't have to check each interval manually.

That looks better

makeF[l_] := With[{ll = Partition[Flatten@{-Infinity, l, Infinity}, 2, 1]},
  Function[e, Piecewise@MapIndexed[{First[#2], Between[e, #1]} &, ranges]]
  ]

a bit

(ranges must be ll)
