Currently, whether buffer names are shown or not in `:Lines` output depends on `s:wide` inside `autoload/vim.vim`.
I think 120 columns is too high of a limit (when I split screen a neovim window, the buffer names don't show up) and I would prefer it to be 80 columns. Please can you make the variable configurable?

Research direction
Read autoload/vim.vim and trace how s:wide controls buffer names in :Lines. Make that minimum-width behavior configurable while preserving the existing default, then verify :Lines in a split Neovim window at the configured threshold.
