I wonder: Couldn't we have some kind of simulated line breaks, which an editor places virtually, so that it can manage very long lines easily and efficiently internally, while writing out the file without these virtual line breaks? Basically only so make the conditions appropriate for the editor's string data structure?

In fact, you basically need to do that anyway to wrap long lines effectively.
