5) Line-wrapping looks and behaves naturally.
This is in fact the only valid objection (to the current charstyle
implementation) that I recognise: it looks ugly and is visually
disruptive -- for charstyles containing more than a few words.
But it could, in principle, be fixed. It'd take work...but so would
implementing a whole new way of representing characters.
And by the way, since what `elements' (charstyles, whatever) are in play
at any given time can change, even during sessions, you can't even
reliably use indices into a table to represent what elements are in
force with a given character. This will greatly complicate the data
structure, and increase memory requirements.
