/**
 * An instance of this class represents information about a feasible
 * breaking point; it does not represent any piece of content.
 * 
 * A KnuthPenalty is a feasible breaking point unless its value is infinity;
 * a KnuthPenalty whose value is -infinity represents a forced break.
 * 
 * A KnuthPenalty is suppressed, and its width is ignored, if it is not a
 * chosen breaking point; for example, a KnuthPenalty representing a
 * hyphenation point has a width (the "-" width), which must be ignored if
 * that point is not chosen as a breaking point.
 * 
 * Besides the inherited methods and attributes, this class has two more
 * attributes and the methods used to get them: the penalty value, which is
 * a kind of "aesthetic cost" (the higher the value, the more unsightly the
 * breaking point), and a boolean that marks KnuthPenalties which should not
 * be chosen as breaking points for consecutive lines.
