/* The C Programming Language: 2nd Edition
 *
 * Exercise 1-22: Write a program to 'fold' long input lines into two or more
 * shorter lines after the last non-blank character that occurs before the n-th
 * column of input. Make sure your program does something intelligent with very
 * long lines, and if there are no blanks or tabs before the specified column.
 *
 * Answer: So... Quite a hefty requirement. In a nutshell, our goal is to
 * create sane hard-wrapping. This is a common function in text editors, and
 * it's important to get it right or the results are wonky.
 *
 * TODO: get_line() is not fully correct. When it hits a \t, it counts it as
 * one character and has no concept of display count. I'll fix this later on.
