# Advantages:
#
# 1. Like "cat", the script takes one or more file names as arguments or
#    reads from stdin.
#
# 2. Long lines (e.g. single-line paragraphs in Gemtext) are wrapped at
#    spaces to be at most 80 characters wide.
#
# 3. Separate lines are not joined to form "paragraphs". This leaves
#    hard-wrapped paragraphs (with line lengths of at most 80) as-is and
#    doesn't mess up poetry or other verse-based content.
#
# 4. The resulting lines are numbered for ease of orientation and
#    referencing.
#
# 5. The result is left un-paginated (unlike with "pr") to allow for
#    continous scrolling.
