More characters as wrapping separators for filenames

SpaceFM uses spaces and hyphens (-) but not dots (.) or underscores (_) as separators in the text of labels under icons (Icons style view), but it would make sense to use them. Here are examples of filenames displayed with my current configuration:

      ICON
 .selected_edito
        r

      ICON
  fontgroups.xm
        l

      ICON
 sqlitebrowser.s
      f.net

With dots and underscores treated as separators, filenames would be a lot prettier and easier to read:

      ICON
   .selected_
     editor

      ICON
   fontgroups.
       xml

      ICON
  sqlitebrowser.
     sf.net

I looked into this and pango provides three wrap options - sparing you the details, spacefm uses the best of the three. I don't see any simple way to change the characters treated as separators - it may be possible to replace some of pangos functions for this but it looks quite involved. I notice gtk3 apps look the same way.

So this probably won't change.
