That is an interesting proposal, but...

When I look at a code fragment, I expect soft breaks to be clearly
visible. If only because in many programming languages the newline
character is a special delimiter...

So I think it is really important to have different indentation for
paragraphs and soft lines.

Well... maybe when the DECORATE_LINES element is implemented, we
should implement your proposal and insert a <longhookleftarrow> at the
end of hyphenated lines in code elements...
