No. Just use store_true or store_false

That's what I did originally, but that doesn't work the way I expected: it forces you to have two parameters. So instead of looking like this:
--wrap_long_lines=True
--wrap_long_lines=False
it would turn into two options, like this:
--wrap_long_lines_on
--wrap_long_lines_off
If you'd rather do it that way, I can change it.

Assuming it defaults to False, it should just be
parser.add_option('--wrap_long_lines', dest='wrap_long_lines', action="store_true", default=False,
help="Wrap long lines of output, or output each message on a single line.")

If we're going to this much effort, should we support actual files too?

Maybe?
I'm post processing the output (#22) to turn it into a checklist - which was why I added the wrap_long_lines parameter. But I'm OK with ansible-review outputting to stdout, so the output can be feed to wherever.
I just added these lines so I could (optionally) have all the output go to stdout without having to bash redirecting it using 2>&1 or &>, because that was garbling it (stderr output in the middle of stdout lines, occasionally).
Maybe we could expand this to support outputting to regular files later?

Add & implement the following options, both on the command line and in the config:
This option is only supported on the command line, and it intended for debugging/figuring out if your config settings are being picked up:
If you don't set any of these, the behaviour is as before.
