Surely line-wrapped source-code looks like crap, regardless of whether
it's wrapped on character- or word-boundaries!

Or does Visual C++ do something more clever, like correctly indenting
line-wrapped source-code according to the context?  That would be sort
of cool, but pretty hard to implement...
