Details:
In bug #61089, John Gardner and I had the following exchange.
> > What do you expect the semantics of an output line length of zero to be?
> Like this:
This is your line-length
This
is
your
line-
length
on
drugs
-verbatim
> Basically, print as many characters as you can fit up until the next break
opportunity (which could be whitespace or a hyphenation opportunity, depending
on hyphenation settings).
I will take this issue to the groff@ list for discussion.
