name	description	default	current value	related methods
operation	'infix' or 'function' style formatting	infix	infix
wrap_positions	position(s) at which wrapping is to occur; '2 n - 1' is after the nth operand, '2 n' is after the nth operation.	()	()	('with_wrapping_at', 'with_wrap_before_operator', 'with_wrap_after_operator', 'without_wrapping', 'wrap_positions')
justification	if any wrap positions are set, justify to the 'left', 'center', or 'right'	center	center	('with_justification',)
