Summary: textwrap does not handle single quotes with hyphens properly

Initial Comment:
This problem was reported as an Optik bug (#813077),
but it's really a problem in textwrap.  (Darn, textwrap
is harder to tweak.)  In a nutshell,
TextWrapper._split() splits this string wrong:
  "the 'wibble-wobble' widget"
It should split into
  ['the', ' ', "'wibble-", "wobble'", ' ', 'widget']
but it actually splits into 
  ['the', ' ', "'", 'wibble-', "wobble'", ' ', 'widget']

Looks like that damn regex needs a bit more tweaking. 
SIgh.
