Description

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

When softwrap is turned on, it would be nice to specify a line number at which text should wrap (if edge of screen extends beyond that line).

One approach could be to repurpose the softwrap option to accept a number.

Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the softwrap option and the editor's line-wrapping logic, then trace how option values are parsed and applied. Done means a numeric softwrap setting controls the wrap line while existing softwrap behavior remains intact, with tests covering the new setting.
