I am a bit conflicted about wrapping on \df.  I agree that wrapped
function code is difficult to read, but what we've got now is
difficult to read too.  Which of the two is more difficult is really a
matter of personal taste.  I guess with \df you have to accept that
it's always going to be ugly, unless you have a very wide terminal (or
very short function definitions!).
