Word wrap long file names in list view

Bug description:
Binary package hint: nautilus
I would like the Nautilus list view to wrap long file names. This
behaviour could be optional (configurable).
I have a number of scientific papers with very long names, eg.
"[nigam-aiaa-2008-5913] Control and Design of Multiple Unmanned Air
Vehicles for a Persistent Surveillance Task.pdf". On my widescreen
desktop, enough of the name is visible to be useful; however, on my
Acer netbook the name is ellipsized and the column can't be expanded
enough.
At one point I accidentally renamed a file using a copied-and-pasted
string with some kind of newline character in it, and the Nautilus
list view showed the filename on two lines in an expanded row. I was
delighted by what I *thought* was a new feature until I realized it
wasn't one. Maybe it should be!
