The problem is that with Nile we might be doing a VERY long text stream so
we want to be able to do if in paragraph chunks and stop when we're out
of sight..

It's not two newlines, BTW, it's a vertical skip by a given number of
pixels.

If we want to expand FText to cover these *as well*, it's of course
possible, by adding something like FText.ParagraphBreakPart (maybe a
shorter name would be good).

Another point for handling paragraphs in Nile is that I want to do some
really strange stuff with them and I'm not sure what we want to move to
FText and when.
