Description

When you have a large array (let's say 1000 integers) that needs to be written out, it will be written out one int per line. It would be very useful to be able to specify how many items (or a max line length) are output per line to improve formatting and remove the need for a lot of CR's

e.g, with a max items per line of 10

{ "array" : [ 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19 20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29 ], }

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the Writer class in jsoncpp's source code to understand how array elements are output. Implement a configuration option to set maximum items per line and modify the output loop to insert line breaks accordingly.
