Enhancement request: Add the equivalents of the POSIX wcwidth/wcswidth
functions to std.uni.
These functions calculate the expected cell width of a wchar_t or wchar string.
This is the normal character width in fixed width fonts. It is useful in
command-line apps and other terminal displays where fixed width fonts are
commonly used. Generally, CJK characters are two cells wide, most other
characters are one cell wide. Cell width properties are part of the unicode
standard.
