Far be it from me to open a bikeshedding on a package's name... :) But in light of this message, I can't help but wonder if a more descriptive name would be something like "visual-wrap" or "virtual-wrap".

To me, "adaptive-wrap" doesn't imply that its effects are only visual--rather, it seems to suggest that it wraps text based on some kind of adaptive criteria.

"visual-wrap" would seem like a natural counterpart to "visual-line-mode", implying that its effects are only visual in nature, leaving the underlying contents unchanged (which matches the package's description).

Just my two cents before the package is merged.
