It doesn't have to do all that work. If DrRacket just wrapped lines at 80 characters, the user would do the work of refactoring to make things sensible. The nice part about wrapping the display at 80 characters (*not* inserting line breaks) is that you can type out a really long line to get your thoughts down on the screen, see if it compiles/runs, then make it readable. To this end, I kind of like line-wrap symbols (as in emacs) as they make it painfully obvious where you've fallen off the wagon (in case the indentation itself doesn't jump out and poke you in the eye).
