How about not using word-wrap, but rather integers? A positive integer
indicates the column before the wrap should occur, with negative
integers counting from the right margin? That makes it possible to
specify a fixed wrap position if really wanted. Also the
truncate-partial-window-width override should have the same meaning and
take precedence if non-nil.
I am not sure this flexibility is needed, though.
