Hi,
this is something like a feature request.
I was wondering if it would be possible to make truncate-lines a text
property.
I have a couple of users in Org-mode who like visual-line-mode and
line wrapping a lot, and I would like to support it better. However,
for some tasks, line wrapping does not give the best results. For
example in tables, which always look messy without line wrapping.
Another example would be ASCII drawings and sometimes code examples.
I think this could be solved by making truncate-lines a text
property. I could have turned off truncate-lines for the buffer as a
whole, but turn it on for tables and similar structures using a text
property.
Any comments, or even someone who would be interested to implement this?

Sounds reasonable. Why not post it as a feature request via M-x
report-emacs-bug?

Because I did not know that feature requests are
supposed to be reported as bugs. Will do.
