I think that instead of doing the automatic line break, we should just
document it properly in the CG.

I don't know how I'd implement an automatic word wrap, and I don't think
it's worth spending the time on figuring out how to do it.

But if you'd like to do it, I'd certainly be happy to review a proposed
patch.
