    @class wxTextWrapper

    Helps wrap lines of text to given width.

    This is a generic purpose class which can be used to wrap lines of text to
    the specified width. It doesn't do anything by itself but simply calls its
    virtual OnOutputLine() and OnNewLine() methods for each wrapped line of
    text, you need to implement them in your derived class to actually do
    something useful.

    Here is an example function using this class which inserts hard line breaks
    into a string of text at the positions where it would be wrapped:
    
    @code
    wxString WrapText(wxWindow *win, const wxString& text, int widthMax)
    {
        class HardBreakWrapper : public wxTextWrapper
        {
        public:
            HardBreakWrapper(wxWindow *win, const wxString& text, int widthMax)
            {
                Wrap(win, text, widthMax);
            }

            wxString const& GetWrapped() const { return m_wrapped; }

        protected:
            virtual void OnOutputLine(const wxString& line)
            {
                m_wrapped += line;
            }

            virtual void OnNewLine()
            {
                m_wrapped += '\n';
            }

        private:
            wxString m_wrapped;
        };

        HardBreakWrapper wrapper(win, text, widthMax);
        return wrapper.GetWrapped();
    }
    @endcode

    /**
        Wrap the given text.

        less than @a widthMax).
