/*! \brief
 * Wraps lines to a predefined length.
 *
 * This utility class wraps lines at word breaks to produce lines that are not
 * longer than a predefined length.  Explicit newlines ('\\n') are preserved.
 * Only space is considered a word separator.  If a single word exceeds the
 * maximum line length, it is still printed on a single line.
 * Extra whitespace is stripped from the end of produced lines.
 * Other options on the wrapping, such as the line length or indentation,
 * can be changed using a TextLineWrapperSettings object.
 *
 * Two interfaces to do the wrapping are provided:
 *  -# High-level interface using either wrapToString() (produces a single
 *     string with embedded newlines) or wrapToVector() (produces a vector of
 *     strings with each line as one element).
 *     These methods operate on std::string and wrap the entire input string.
 *  -# Low-level interface using findNextLine() and formatLine().
 *     findNextLine() operates either on a C string or an std::string, and does
 *     not do any memory allocation (so it does not throw).  It finds the next
 *     line to be wrapped, considering the wrapping settings.
 *     formatLine() does whitespace operations on the line found by
 *     findNextLine() and returns an std::string.
 *     These methods allow custom wrapping implementation to either avoid
 *     exceptions or to wrap only a part of the input string.
 *
 * Typical usage:
 * \code
   gmx::TextLineWrapper wrapper;
   wrapper.settings().setLineLength(78);
   printf("%s\n", wrapper.wrapToString(textToWrap).c_str());

         * Formats a string, producing a vector with all the lines.
         *
         * \param[in] input  String to wrap.
         * \returns   \p input split into lines such that maximum line length
         *      is not exceeded.
         * \throws    std::bad_alloc if out of memory.
         *
         * The strings in the returned vector do not contain newlines at the
         * end.
         * Note that a single terminal newline does not affect the output:
         * "line\\n" and "line" both produce the same output (but "line\\n\\n"
         * produces two lines, the second of which is empty).
