~~Wrapping in comments messed up by parentheses~~

Wrapping comments in Vim messed up by parentheses

~~# Problem~~
~~Wrapping in comments gets messed up in the presence of parentheses. This happens~~
with both auto wrapping and manual wrapping (`gw`).
~~# MWE~~
~~This is what happens in a python file (`file.py`):~~
```py
# This is a test python comment with parentheses near the line break (this is
# content
# within
# the
# parens)
# you see what I mean?
```
~~# Tried~~
I tried [`:set nocindent`](https://vi.stackexchange.com/q/8173) but that didn't
have any effect.
Putting `vim.opt.cindent = false` in my config didn't work either.
Wrapping the same statement works fine in a `.txt`:
```txt
This is a test python comment with parentheses near the line break (this is
content within the parens) you see what I mean?
```
~~# Want~~
Want auto wrapping and `gw` to produce:
```py
# This is a test python comment with parentheses near the line break (this is
# content within the parens) you see what I mean?
```
~~# Configuration~~
Using LunarVim with the following relevant settings in my `config.lua`:
```lua
vim.opt.tw = 80
vim.opt.wrap = true
```
