options: recognize -a and --atblanks on the command line
...
In nano, -a is only effective when also -$ is given, so this will
not conflict with Pico since Pico does not know the -$ option.

bb4d0d548a
new feature: allow lines to be softwrapped at whitespace
...
Extend get_softwrap_breakpoint() to break softwrapped lines on
whitespace when a flag is set. This flag is controlled by the new
rcfile option "atblanks". The '>' characters marking two-column
characters at the edge of the screen are disabled when it's on.
If get_softwrap_breakpoint() can't find whitespace in screen range, it
will break the line on the screen edge. (In this case, a blank can be
on the last column of the screen, but text can't, so that a blank on the
last column doesn't become invisible and possibly break the display.)
This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?49959 .

copyright: update the years, use ranges, and explain this usage
...
The interval 2013-2017 for the Free Software Foundation is valid
because in those years there were releases with changes by either
Chris or David, and the GNU maintainers guide advises to mention
a new year in all files of a package, not just in the ones that
actually changed, and be done with it for the rest of the year.

There are just a handful of source files for the documentation --
it is wasteful and cumbersome to have these in separate directories.

the documentation.)
