After experimenting for a bit, I'd say "never".  This output format is
extremely ugly.  Maybe if it had enough smarts not to break in the

Yet, wrapped is the same as aligned, if the lines fit!<br>
<br>
Ugly to wrap? Yes.<br>
Uglier than the sea of pipes you get when aligned output wraps itself?<br>
<br>
Well I suppose you have to pick your preferred version of ugly.  I find
it  very hard to line up columns when presented with a sea of pipes,
and highly annoying to constantly adjust my window width to see a
query, especially if only one or two rows are too large.<br>

PS: it is true, I don't like the missing | bars on the current
version.  I prefer that the grid cells be fully drawn, even if the
contents don't fill the box
