The name `truncate-lines' does not give any hint that it controls word
wrapping too.
Do you care about this? If so, how about this: make truncate-lines an
obsolete alias for `line-wrap-method', which accepts the values
`edge-wrap', `word-wrap', and `truncate', with t equivalent to
`truncate' and nil equivalent to `edge-wrap'.

For anyone using the word-wrap feature, that could be annoying. With
word wrapping, buffers with long lines can be comfortably read in
50-column windows, but if truncate-partial-width-windows is 70-80,
they'll be truncated rather than wrapped.
