Bug ID: 491923
Summary: wrapping should be informed by syntax rules, e.g.
don't wrap in the middle of an operator

screenshot of break in the middle of operator when there's plenty of space, but
> sticks to following character
SUMMARY
It's nice to have syntax highlighting with colors, but the interpretation needs
to go deeper by controlling where lines break in wrapping mode.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
For example, look at where Kate breaks something like "myobject->fieldname" for
a C/C++ code file.
OBSERVED RESULT
It sees a breaking point after the hyphen (-) and nowhere else.
EXPECTED RESULT
It should see breaking points before the hyphen (-) and after the greater-than
(>), but not between them, because "->" should be treated as a word that should
stay together.
I'm attaching two screenshots, each with the same text, but different fonts.
The first line is just to show the width of the line. The second shows the bad
wrapping behavior. The third line is the same as the second, but with a space
between the ">" and the "i", which allows a break where there should be one
anyway. The first screenshot is with the default "Hack" font. The second is
with the popular JetBrains Mono font, which has a ligature for the operator
"->". As you can see, the first half of this ligature gets cut off on the
left side.
