Convert overflow-wrap into word-wrap

See original GitHub issue

Hi.

Would you consider adding the conversion of overflow-wrap into word-wrap to improve compatibility with Firefox, Internet Explorer, and some older browsers?

It’s basically an alias, much like many of the vendor prefixes. The only difference is that this is an alias mandated by spec instead of an experimental implementation behind a prefix. I think it’s this distinction where you’re saying it may not necessarily fall into the scope of Autoprefixer. Am I correct in my understanding?

Although you’re correct in that it could be written into another PostCSS plugin pretty easily.

@isiahmeadows https://github.com/isiahmeadows why you think that overflow-wrap is a “prefix” for word-wrap? And why writing a other PostCSS plugin is not a solution here?

This is more of a “nice to have”, but I don’t normally use PostCSS outside of this.
