Well, it helps in situations like this
This is a paragraph with some text to
demonstrate that a path name like
/usr/local/share/lilypond/foo.bar
should be split after backslashes.
which looks better with a break after the backslash:
This is sensible, and I agree replacing
/ with /@/ here is good. But changing
"and/or" to "and/@/or" is bad (one you
changed recently.) Splitting such short
strings will make little difference to the
layout, and I would argue that placing
the "/or" at the start of a new line renders
the text less readable, not more.
So a / in any string less than, say, 12 characters
should be left alone.
