Thank you!

Yeah, that was always my biggest concern with this too.

For a first pass, not wrapping anything that's indented with whitespace or
any paragraph with a ragged left margin would probably go a long way.
Most code has a ragged left margin due to indentation of block structure
and very little regular text does, except for numbered or bulletted lists
(which can probably be identified separately; Emacs wrapping seems to
already do a good job of recognizing those).
