Initial revision. Currently biased towards English in a fixed-width font, 

according to the conventions that I (and Tim Peters) learned in school.

"""
Object for wrapping/filling text. The public interface consists of
the wrap() and fill() methods; the other methods are just there for
subclasses to override in order to tweak the default behaviour.
If you want to completely replace the main wrapping algorithm,
you'll probably have to override _wrap_chunks().
Several instance attributes control various aspects of
wrapping:
expand_tabs
if true (default), tabs in input text will be expanded
to spaces before further processing. Each tab will
become 1 .. 8 spaces, depending on its position in its line.
If false, each tab is treated as a single character.
replace_whitespace
if true (default), all whitespace characters in the input
text are replaced by spaces after tab expansion. Note
that expand_tabs is false and replace_whitespace is true,
every tab will be converted to a single space!
break_long_words
if true (default), words longer than the line width constraint
will be broken. If false, those words will not be broken,
and some lines might be longer than the width constraint.

Wrap a sequence of text chunks and return a list of lines of

words and the whitespace between them: each chunk is indivisible
(modulo 'break_long_words'), but a line break can come between
any two chunks. Chunks should not have internal whitespace;
ie. a chunk is either all whitespace or a "word". Whitespace
chunks will be removed from the beginning and end of lines, but
apart from that whitespace is preserved.
