It does do the right thing if there are already multiple lines, in which
case it determines the common prefix and replicates that, only wrapping
the other content.  But I see what you mean that it's not working right if
you start with a single long comment.  I'll add this to our task list.

Using comments is fine, tho for the top level of a function or method,
or for a class or file/module, it's better to use docstrings.  E.g.:

def myfunction():
  """This is the docstring for this function"""
  print "ok"

(the first string in the scope is its docstring)

Thanks for reporting this.
