Break Character Strings to Fit Width

Description:

     Inserts line breaks ('collapse') into input character strings. The
     main intention of this function is to prepare long strings for
     printing, so the output is not wider than 'width'.

Usage:

       strbreak(x, width=getOption("width"), exdent=2, collapse="\n")

Arguments:

       x: a character vector

   width: a positive integer giving the width of the output.

  exdent: a positive integer specifying the indentation of subsequent
          lines after the first line.

collapse: a character.  This is inserted to break lines.
