+
+	https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/overflow-wrap#values
+
+	For table layouts, that becomes a problem: the browser tries to make each
+	column as narrow as possible, and `overflow-wrap: anywhere` means it can do
+	so by breaking words - even if some other column could be shrunk without
+	breaking words! This shows up, for instance, in the `Structs` / `Modules` /
+	`Functions` (etcetera) sections of a module page, and when a docblock
+	contains a table.
+
+	So, for table layouts, override the default with break-word, which does
+	_not_ affect min-content intrinsic sizes.
