Along these lines, one point of frustration that I and my colleagues run
into is resolving git conflicts in LyX files.  I wonder whether output line
wrapping logic can be made available that permits an improved experience in
this regard (which, based on the Python `black` utility, may demand more
line breaks rather than fewer).  I look forward to any thoughts and/or
discussion on this point.

Thank you,
Joel
