Description

I have links in my table that are being parsed by a parser (Slack).
Currently this makes the tables have a huge amount of space on the linked

```
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╤═══════════╤══════════════╤══════════════╗
║ Setting │ Values │ Last updated │ Authored ║
╟─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┼───────────┼──────────────┼──────────────╢
║ SOME_SETTING_NAME │ 50% true │ 19 months │ Jan 10, 2019 ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧═══════════╧══════════════╧══════════════╝
```

currently using `width`, with or without `wordWrap` enabled give this:
```
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════╤═══════════╤══════════════╤══════════════╗
║ Setting │ Values │ Last updated │ Authored ║
╟──────────────────────────────────────────────────┼───────────┼──────────────┼──────────────╢
║ │ │ │ ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════╧═══════════╧══════════════╧══════════════╝
```
Which totally makes sense as a default.

I would link to add an option that sets the width but disables wrapping altogether.

This option could either be overloading `wordWrap` aka `wordWrap='disable'` or a new flag like `disableWordWrap`.

Are you open to adding another option for this use case?
Looking for feedback before implementing.

PS thanks for a great tool

Research direction

Start by tracing how the width and wordWrap options are handled, then reproduce the long-URL table example from the issue. Done means a documented option can preserve the configured width without wrapping cell contents, with tests covering the new behavior.
