Yes, somebody knows.  The answer is no.  The bad news is that TeX will
break after column 79, no matter what (even if it is in the middle of
transliterating ^^M).  The good news is that the autobreakage happens
just there, so one could presumably paste stuff together again
automatically, unless MakeTeXTFM and friends or what they are called
intersperse their own output.  But then we are in trouble, anyway.

It was.  Sometimes when I throw a tantrum, things actually get
changed.
