Research direction

Start by tracing how uncompyle6 uses the source-code line number table to split lines, then compare that with where a line break follows a printed or added string. Reproduce the off-by-one behavior in a list with line breaks and define the expected output before investigating a fix.

Description

uncompyle6 uses the source-code line number table to help it know when to split a line.
However it usually knows where there was a line break after the string that had it has been added/printed

Consequently, it usually one behind in a list with line breaks.

Fix somehow.
