Howdy,

Oh... I keep remembering more things that are bad about hard wrap. Suppose you do have a longer line (not a comment!) that gets wrapped. If it's a command definition and is automatically broken across lines it may introduce an extra space that is very hard to trace. I'd much rather control line breaks myself.

Good Luck,
