Well... I don't want that to be the default behavior of softwrap.
The default behavior should be like in vim or emacs: just break
the line at the edge of the screen, and if a two-column character
happens to start in the last column, push it to the next row (in
vim the last column then shows a >, and emacs a second \ ).

I don't think it needs any explanation. And I don't want the built-in
help to get any longer -- I don't think anyone reads it anyway.

Yes, not splitting control characters is nice.

Switch softwrap off when the terminal is narrower than three columns?
On such a narrow terminal nano is unusable anyway; the only requirement
is that it doesn't crash and doesn't hang, that it keeps on functioning
even though you can't see what you're doing.
