The "/" flag in 'formatoptions' was supposed to only stop repeating the
trailing comment on the next line when creating a new line, but I see it
also stops automatic wrapping from working properly. I'll fix that.
The reason to make it work this way was explained several times before:
If the default is to repeat the comment, a simple CTRL-U can remove it
if you don't want it. If the default was to not repeat the comment and
you do want it, you have to manually type the indent and the comment
leader, which is not easy. Especially typing Enter while typing the
comment is ambiguous, it can either mean to insert a line break in the
comment or to start a non-comment line.
