In other words, we can always insert a line break after a two-byte long
character? But is that right? Conceivably some encodings will have
two-byte long characters that should behave just like Latin alphabetic
characters? I am also a bit puzzled as to why the special handling for
two-byte characters? (Why not three- or four-byte ones?)
