For a programmer's editor the feature you want is a step on top of
this one--being able to re-wrap multiple comment lines after making a
change that pushes one of them to too wide.

Hehe, give then an inch and they will take an ell...

Wasn't a request, just pointing out how even code can have stuff you want to wrap.

# If I have some comments that look like this I need to edit, as long as # simple line-wrap works it's not too painful to just wipe out all the # delimiters, wrap with a 2 character smaller width to leave space, then
# insert them back in again.

/**

 */

So there's the additional cases I'd expect a giant bloated editing tool to handle (*cough* Eclipse), just to provide a spec for an ideal wrapping feature set. One step at a time.
