Wasn't a request, just pointing out how even code can have stuff you want
to wrap.
# If I have some comments that look like this I need to edit, as long as

*/
So there's the additional cases I'd expect a giant bloated editing tool to
handle (*cough* Eclipse), just to provide a spec for an ideal wrapping
feature set. One step at a time.
