Yes, but your argument for not providing the "no fringe" behavior is
that it would go against this request, so I'm pointing out that this is
not a good enough reason.

Most of the non-Emacs editors I see (e.g. vi in a tty, or the god-awful
edit-boxes in Iceweasel) don't have anything like fringes or other forms
of continuation glyphs (IOW, there's simply no visual indication at all
distinguishing a line-wrap from a newline), so it would make sense for
Emacs to be able to provide this behavior somehow.
