Another place for a text wrap function would be part of pprint.
I agree with M. Pinard that it doesn't deserve an entire module.
RE seems a little off-task for formatting text.
PPRINT seems more closely related to the core problem.
And it leaves room for adding additional formatting and
pretty-printing features. Perhaps a small class hierarchy
with different wrapping algorithms (filling and justifying,
no filling, etc.)
