/**
 *      Main issue with console output in Killing Floor is
 *  automatic line breaking of long enough messages:
 *  it breaks formatting and can lead to an ugly text overlapping.
 *      To fix this we will try to break up user's output into lines ourselves,
 *  before game does it for us.
 *
 *      We are not 100% sure how Killing Floor decides when to break the line,
 *  but it seems to calculate how much text can actually fit in a certain
 *  area on screen.
 *      There are two issues:
 *      1. We do not know for sure what this limit value is.
 *          Even if we knew how to compute it, we cannot do that in server mode,
 *          since it depends on a screen resolution and font, which
 *          can vary for different players.
 *      2. Even invisible characters, such as color change sequences,
 *          that do not take any space on the screen, contribute towards
 *          that limit. So for a heavily colored text we will have to
 *          break line much sooner than for the plain text.
 *      Both issues are solved by introducing two limits that users themselves
 *  are allowed to change: visible character limit and total character limit.
 *      ~ Total character limit will be a hard limit on a character amount in
 *  a line (including hidden ones used for color change sequences) that
 *  will be used to prevent Killing Floor's native line breaks.
 *      ~ Visible character limit will be a lower limit on amount of actually
 *  visible character. It introduction basically reserves some space that can be
 *  used only for color change sequences. Without this limit lines with
 *  colored lines will appear to be shorter that mono-colored ones.
 *  Visible limit will help to alleviate this problem.
 *
 *  For example, if we set total limit to `120` and visible limit to `80`:
 *      1. Line not formatted with color will all break at
 *          around length of `80`.
 *      2. Since color change sequence consists of 4 characters:
 *          we can fit up to `(120 - 80) / 4 = 10` color swaps into each line,
 *          while still breaking them at a around the same length of `80`.
 *      ~ To differentiate our line breaks from line breaks intended by
 *  the user, we will also add 2 symbols worth of padding in front of all our
 *  output:
 *      1. Before intended new line they will be just two spaces.
 *      2. After our line break we will replace first space with "|" to indicate
 *          that we had to break a long line.
 *
 *      Described measures are not perfect:
 *      1. Since Killing  Floor's console does not use monospaced font,
 *          the same amount of characters on the line does not mean lines of
 *          visually the same length;
 *      2. Heavily enough colored lines are still going to be shorter;
 *      3. Depending on a resolution, default limits may appear to either use
 *          too little space (for high resolutions) or, on the contrary,
 *          not prevent native line breaks (low resolutions).
 *          In these cases user might be required to manually set limits;
 *      4. There are probably more.
 *      But if seems to provide good enough results for the average use case.
