format splits the list into several lines.
Is there any way to write a huge list to a file in an unique line?

  format does what it's told to do, and it doesn't have free will (it only
  feels like it until you learn its language), so you're blaming the wrong
  guy, here.  so, what, _exactly_, were you telling format to do?

(format <stream> "~{~A~^ ~}~%" <huge-list>)
