Description

Sorry if this is repeated. I didn't find any similar issues.

Currently, when the line length exceeds its column, an arrow indicates that the line continues

I wish we could wrap the line like `bat` currently does and keep the diff highlighting.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named in the issue. Start by reproducing a long-line diff in delta and compare its behavior with bat; done means an optional wrapping mode preserves the existing diff highlighting while removing the continuation arrows.
