When a line is wrapped the `left-margin' text property is honored only
on the first visual line. This seems ok to me unless word-wrap is true.
In that case I think that `left-margin' and `right-margin' should be
honored on all visual lines.

The variable wrap-prefix can be used for this.

It would not be consistent to make the left/right margin affect
continued lines.
