That could lead to issues with long organic chemical names. I'm not sure
there's a perfect solution there. ;(

There's plenty of plain ASCII text we end up rendering (e-mail comes to mind),
so I'd really like us to have default line breaking that's as good as we can
reasonably manage.
One other line breaking weirdness I ran into today: the string "Init()" broke
after the 't'. That looked _really_ odd. I wouldn't break before a '(' that's
preceded by a letter like that... Breaking after the '(' if we have to would
sometimes be reasonable, though in this case that would look pretty odd too.
And really, "sin(x)" should not be line breaking anywhere, imo... ;)
