What's this?

breakable(sep=' ', width=sep.length) public

This says “you can break a line here if necessary”, and a width\-column text sep is inserted if a line is not broken at the point.

If sep is not specified, “ ” is used.

If width is not specified, sep.length is used. You will have to specify this when sep is a multibyte character, for example.
