 Please tell me the technical reason which caused the swap of the default
 behavior from non-wrapping to wrap-and-break-tools mode!
 
 Made other options line-wrapping by default necessarily, is the generated
 code faster or opens -fmessage-length=72 doors to better optimizations?
 
 Don't take it amiss but I can not understand why line-wrapping is enabled
 by default.
