[fpc-pascal] Breaking Pascal source lines

I'm sure there isn't a single "right" answer to this question, but if 
transferring Pascal source to a system that enforces short lines (e.g. 
78 chars + CRLF) what's the best automatic breaking rule?

One possibility is obviously to break after the rightmost space, but is 
it valid to break after e.g. . (if not followed by a digit), ^ and 
possibly others?

Syntax errors are acceptable. Truncation isn't.
