[issue1859] textwrap doesn't linebreak on "\n"

[Chris Jerdonek]

Chris Jerdonek added the comment:

In working on the patch for this issue, I also noticed that there is a minor error in the documentation of the replace_whitespace attribute.

The docs say that string.whitespace is used, but the code uses a hard-coded string and includes a comment explaining why string.whitespace should *not* be used.

I will correct this in the patch, but if people think so, I could file it as a separate issue.
