how to wrap long lines of maxima output in texmacs

There are, of course, programs in maxima to do line-breaking
of mathematical expressions.  These constitute a major part
of the display package -- that is, doing it right, and not
using exponential time.


So the code exists, in lisp.  As far as I am concerned, any
front end that does not do proper linebreaking is essentially
"demoware" for something else, and not a serious computer
algebra system front end.  I think that upgrading texmacs math display
would probably increase the size of the expression typesetting
code by a factor of 3 or more, and would make it perhaps
the most interesting maxima front end for serious math use.
