Usually you get a black box showing the violation, but
it's very strange to see it in (La)TeX due to the
hyphenation (which gives it more potential break
points if the word boundaries are not good line break
points).
In the future we should add hyphenation, and maybe
some kind of visual feedback (dunno if a church
secretarie would see a black box as a bug or as
information...)
