To the problem of how to treat truncate-partial-window-width once
word-wrapping is available as a third option for long lines (the first
two options being line truncation and simple line continuation).
Instead of adding `word-wrap' as a new value for truncate-lines, let's
say we add a new per-buffer variable, `word-wrap', which if non-nil says
to wrap lines at word boundaries rather than the middle of words. This
variable has no effect if lines are truncated instead of continued.
Then truncate-partial-window-width need not "care" about whether
non-truncation means simple line continuation or word wrapping.
Finally, by allowing truncate-partial-window-width to take integer
values as you suggested, and then setting the default to a number such
as 30, we can ensure that word wrapping can still take place for
reasonably-sized partial-width windows.
