Interesting.

Why not a wordwrapping feature?

ie. you resize down the window and the characters that would become hidden are pushed to the line below, as it's done in KWrite when resizing the window!

Would be useful if you start a 80*40 terminal, enter a command and then discover the output is big: resize the window up and text is worwrapped in a beautiful way, displaying data (eg. mysql table output) as the developer wanted it would ideally.

Yes, geeks can argue it's not usual for UNIX users that the console is wordwrapped, but please get back your earlier eyes, when computers was more a magic than a "easy"/"under control" science, when every features you discovered was new and exciting:
When I discovered that terminal wasn't wordrapped it seemed very strange to me, and quite broken.
Of course, since then I'm used a lot of computers and I find it normal.
But that's a wrong assumption: we were forced to think wordwrapping is not natural on terminals.
