one thing that can help with wrapped lines is the 'showbreak'
option
i used to have
set showbreak="> "
in my .vimrc but at some point vim started reading the first
double quote as the beginning of a comment, so i changed it to
set showbreak=+
and that seems to work fine
i know this isn't exactly what you asked, but i believe it is
the next best thing and gets you what you need
