I could use this right now.
I have a menu with a number of entries.
They are mostly short in length.
But, one of them needs to be long and it
dictates the width of the menu.
If I could wrap that one item
then the whole menu could be narrower.
If each menu entry has an associated icon and the
wrapped text is centered vertically on that
icon then it would be obvious that
the multiple line are really a single menu entry.
Also, when you hover over it all lines would
be highlighted at once.

Same goes for the QTabWidget.
Last I looked the tabs did not support
multi-line text.
