Describe the feature

It would be really cool if there was an option to have the wrap option automatically wrap long (diagnostic) messages to stay in their column.

Eg:

instead of:

The example screenshot was created by setting

setlocal breakindentop=shift:45

but that number (45) will obviously be dependent on the filenames & line numbers columns, so would need to be set in the plugin dynamically, not just generally.

Provide background

Diagnostic messages can be long - and the wrapping is great! But then it gets a bit hard to see where each one starts & stops.

What is the significance of this feature?

nice to have

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the plugin currently implements wrap and indent, then add dynamic calculation of breakindentop shift based on the quickfix column width.
