Comment (by dd32):

 > What does texturize do for us in the forum sense (genuine question, the
 only thing I can think of are the pretty quote symbols?)

 Pretty much that, there's a few other small things but that would probably
 never be noticed. Quotes are important as anything else though.

 > I worry about doing too much auto-wrapping, the more of it that's
 implemented the easier it is to wrap the wrong stuff by accident

 I agree with you there, but there's a point where one should consider the
 contents that's being wrapped, HTML/JS/CSS/PHP are very "not-human-
 language looking" and have a syntax that's clearly defined. Matching
 paragraphs that are code-like shouldn't be too difficult.

 > since it's awkward to read regular text if it ends up wrapped (from my
 perspective at least)
 I think that's from most peoples perspective :)

 Perhaps it's time to consider a minimal gutenberg editor (if it's at that
 point yet) for replies, to give the WYSIWYG experience.
