Preference edit.text-wrap-column does this.  However, there's a bug in the
^J feature that causes leading space not to be taken into account, so
docstrings with a lot of indentation end up extending too far to the
right.

Yes, this should be changed too.  I'd also like to be able to wrap
things like

  x = "this is a string" + x + "and so forth" + t + \
      "more string" + z + "and so on"

and

  if x and y and \
     x and q or \
     u and i:

So there's definately going to be another round of improvements for this
tool.

Thanks,
