I don’t really know which way is better/more efficient and just took one to 
implement. Plus text property might allow some user customizations. I can 
change it to only use category table.

Cool.

I saw someone mentioning Line_Break.txt from unicode and looked it up, unicode 
commission has already marked out all wrap-able code points. IIUC we can add 
Line_Break.txt to admin/unidat and parse it and put a elisp file under 
/lisp/international, right? We can categoarize all the marked code points into 
three categories as I mentioned earlier.
