Looks like that wrap issue can be completely handled by the shell:

    [[ "$nowrap" && -t 1 ]] \
    && { echoti rmam; print -rl $output; echoti smam } \
    || print -rl $output

Thanks Stephane. Sheesh, sometimes I think I'm asking something thatthe shell shouldn't be expected to do, but she never stops impressing.
