"""Wraps paragraphs of text, preserving manual formatting

This is like fold(1), but has the special convention of not modifying lines
that start with whitespace. This allows you to intersperse blocks with
special formatting, like code blocks, with written prose. The prose will
be wordwrapped, and the manual formatting will be preserved.

 * This won't handle the case of a bulleted (or ordered) list specially, so
   manual wrapping must be done.

Occasionally it's useful to put something with explicit formatting that
doesn't look at all like a block of text inline.

  indicator = has_leading_whitespace(line);
  if (indicator)
    preserve_formatting(line);

The intent is that this docstring would make it through the transform
and still be legible and presented as it is in the source. If additional
cases are handled, update this doc to describe the effect.
