Description
#### Bug, feature request, or proposal:
Proposal: change `` or `` to line-wrap its contents by default or add an option.
#### What is the expected behavior?
I can put a text into a `` or `` that is longer than what fits into the viewport.
#### What is the current behavior?
The content in a or does not line wrap. If you have a lot of text in a it gets cut at the end.
A workaround would be
`{{mylongtext}}`
#### What are the steps to reproduce?
https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-material2-issue-uaeetd?file=app/app.component.html
#### What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?
I have a pretty narrow window and need to put checkboxes and radio buttons in there.
#### Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?
I think all of them.
#### Is there anything else we should know?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction, specifically app/app.component.html, and verify the lack of wrapping for long mat-radio-button and mat-checkbox content in a narrow viewport. Done means the content wraps by default or through a documented option, while preserving the components' existing behavior.
