Description
Requesting that multiline comments fenced by /* and */ have a word-wrap feature optionally available.
I write feedback for student sketches as long paragraph comments in the body of their code, and if I go back and edit anything on a line prior to the one I'm typing, it gets ugly.
(I'd settle for a command to auto-wrap long lines which are inside of multiline comments, and I could run that command at will. This perhaps would be less intrusive than an active line breaking behavior.)

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the Arduino IDE 1.x editor code responsible for multiline comments and line wrapping, then determine whether the behavior should be optional live wrapping or a manual command. Done means long lines inside /* and */ comments can be wrapped without affecting other code, with the chosen behavior verified in the editor.
