I mean that as you type more words in a paragraph, the line breaking changes -
including in previous lines - so that the lines are kept at a length which is
as close to uniform as possible. Of course, for a given fixed line length limit
(i.e. not when the textbox can stretch).

So, suppose my line is 30 chars long, and I start typing. Here is some text
animation for you...

123456789012345678901234567890
The

123456789012345678901234567890

123456789012345678901234567890
The quick brown fox

123456789012345678901234567890
The quick brown fox jumped


here is where things diverge from the default line breaking strategy. The next
work, currently, produces:

123456789012345678901234567890
The quick brown fox jumped 
over

123456789012345678901234567890
The quick brown fox jumped 
over the


123456789012345678901234567890
The quick brown fox jumped 
over the lazy

but with the alternative line breaking strategy, this would happen:

123456789012345678901234567890
The quick brown 
fox jumped over

123456789012345678901234567890
The quick brown fox
jumped over the

123456789012345678901234567890
The quick brown fox 
jumped over the lazy

123456789012345678901234567890
The quick brown fox 
jumped over the lazy dog

See what I mean?
