Of course it does... there is longlines.el and longlines-mode in my
copy of GNU Emacs:

,--------------------------------------------------
| Toggle Long Lines mode.
| In Long Lines mode, long lines are wrapped if they extend beyond

`-------------------------------------------------

I do not use it, personally, but it does exist.
