Depends whose terminology. Vim calls that folding, and maybe kate does
too, but the less manpage uses folding to mean 'displaying the rest of
the line on the next line' - different from wrapping in that it doesn't
insert newlines into the file (or change the displayed line numbers) -
it's purely a display thing.
