Request: New rootrc parameter

Here: root.cern.ch/root/html/src/TTree.cxx.html#LEHt6D on lines 7916, 7919, and 7923, there are some hardcoded magic numbers “5”.

I would like to be able to change this value somehow to use TTree::Print more effectively in a wide terminal. It’s probably not reasonable to add arguments to the TTree::Print function, but it might be reasonable to add a parameter in .rootrc that would be 5 by default, but user-configurable.

Is this an easy request? Is there any reason not to do this?

While we’re at it, there is a magic number “10” on line 7914, and “15” on line 7925.
