The description is rather short so I need to guess what issues could
arise with the new f=f handler.
1. It searches for break points on ASCII space only, so there
shouldn't be any issue.
2. It uses byte offsets within the flowed line (i.e. the full paragraph
concatenated) to detect whether a line is too short/long so that flowed
lines with many multibyte chars may be shorter on screen than expected,
but never longer (i.e. it respects $wrap).
3. For languages that don't use spaces (for DelSp), there's still the
trailing space to break on so that there's no need to search for
character boundaries in multibyte strings. Only 2) could apply.
So I'd say doesn't need to be utf-8 aware to be bug-free except for
point 2. I will look into these for 1.6.
For now I think it's flowed aren't perfectly flowed up to the maximum
length but little less so I think it's more wishlist thing than a real
bug (given there are no utf-8 issues I didn't think of).
