I splits the lines at 80 chars(with some small exceptions), line by line,
while I read the text.
Usually this makes the javadoc a little bit smaller, there are not
much difference in the case above, it just unified approach was applied.

This is a questionable place, the {@code Strings} is not strictly correct,
but {@code String}s is looks odd as well, because part of the same word is rendered by the
different fonts in the javadoc.
Probably the best choice is to change the "Strings" to the
plain "strings"(lowcase S)?
