I never use --test without -q as well, so didn't notice:
  * --test wraps lines at column 76
  * without -q, we print gp header, centered

These two together don't look nice. I just swapped the two lines: we
now print normal header first, then initialize test mode and start
wrapping lines when printing actual results.

OK on your side ?
