One idea arising from the evidence I provided was that like a
word-processor, one could use black.py to 'line-wrap' the Python code
to what is the current width of the editor window. Which may vary from

(I did not say it at the time, because I did not have it at the time.
And because others might have different useful ideas coming from the
same piece of evidence.)
