Well, the (Gtk)Text widget should support soft widget concept first...
The empty line end-of-paragraph mark is also traditional way of marking
paragraphs with LaTeX and in emacs, this is why I think it is common
enough.

BTW, there is another issue with this reflow_string procedure: it work
correctly for 8-bit ASCII texts only. There are several bug reports of
it crashing for unicode (basically because the way it iterates over the
string is incorrect for unicode).
