I've been working on bindings for the attributes stuff.  But it turns
out that they aren't needed for the particular task of making cell
renderers wrap lines.  All that is needed is setting the properties
wrap-width and wrap-mode once.  I'm not sure how it would be done with
Gtk2::Ex::Simple::List, but with vanilla Gtk2::TreeView it's simple:

  # setup model and view
  # create renderer
  $renderer->set (wrap_width => 200, wrap_mode => "word");
  # create view column
  # add view column to view
