The current behavior is _exactly_ like the overwhelming majority of
windows/mac/gnome/etc text-entry displays: they treat hard newlines as
paragraph boundaries, but do not visually differentiate them from
automatically wrapped lines. [Though the difference is usually fairly
obvious because of whitespace]
There are certainly times when one wants to explicitly show hard
newlines, but it shouldn't be the default.
