I was hoping someone would fall for my teaser about vi not having wordwrap.
I know full-well about the lame "wordwrap" setting.  But it is not true
wordwrap, it is more like an "auto-linefeed".  TRUE WORDWRAP sucks words
up onto the previous line when you delete, and fills further lines when
you insert.  Last I checked (and found wordwrap to be worthless), all
vi does is break to a new line when your cursor went past your margin setting.
