+---------------
| What determines whether lines longer than the window width will wrap
| onto the next display line (with a \) or will truncate at the right
| end (marked by $)?  I see the latter behavior only in the case of
| side-by-side split windows.  What I'd like to be able to do is
| sometimes get wrapped display even in those split windows. (Or,
| rarely, maybe sometimes get truncation even in regular windows.)
| Might this be something as nice and simple as a buffer local variable?

Yup.
