I can understand Nick's concerns. E.g. for me I'm coding some Python
and C as well as writing some LaTeX and plain text on regular basis
with Geany. A default line breaking for all kind of documents would
cause more pain as it might help whereas e.g. on plain text documents
and LaTeX I usually use to activate the flag for documents. 

Cheers,
