Hey,
still not sure whether Lee was asking for line wrapping or line breaking.
Added item. This operation is a one-time thing. It is not a mode of operation as is line wrapping. Once done, it affects only the text that was there when it was done. New text just goes into the buffer as always. It can extend beyond the line-break marker or not. A subsequent 'format' action will then affect all text existing at that time. The line-break column may bwe changed before the format and the new width will be active for that one operation.
You noticed we already have line breaking since 0.15? It works differently from what you suggest, it is line-breaking as you type :). I think the code could be more or less easily modified to work also on the whole document at once.
