Attention

This library doesn't use any clever algorithm for word wrapping. The wrapping is actually very naive: whenever there is whitespace or an explicit linebreak. The goal of this library is for word wrapping CLI output, so the input is typically pretty well controlled human language. Because of this, the naive approach typically works just fine.
