I thought that one japanese word can be wrapped as a single unit
in WRAP_WORD mode when it is enclosed with left and right corner
brackets(\u300c and \u300d) or other brackets, but I'm now starting
to think that it is not really correct for every apps and users.

It may be interesting if we can support different word wrap styles - 
like the ones defined in O'Reilly CJKV book - and make it selectable by
apps and users. It may be possible to give the style to specific region,
not only to entire text buffer. But, it is certainly not a bug for now.
