I don't use nano. But I think usually we want to stick with the default
provided by upstream. Also, do you know how other distros handle this?
Debian does disable wrapping by default. I think we can change it if
many distros agree that the more sensible default is to disable
wrapping.
Personally though, I prefer wrapping because I can read all the text at
once. I like to see the "whole picture" at once :)
