compensation, perhaps?  But notice you are running two strlen and
then also a call to utf8-strnwidth here already, and then

you return here without doing anything.

Worse yet, this logic looks very strange.  If you give it a width of
8 because you want to align like-item on each record at that column,
a record with 1-display-column item will be shown in 8-display-column
with 7 SP padding (either at the beginning, or at the end, or on
both ends to center).  If it happens to be an empty string, the entire
8-display-column disappears.

Is that really what you meant to do?  The logic does not make much
sense to me, even though the code may implement that logic correctly
and clearly.

Mental note: this function values the information more than
presentation; it refuses to truncate (to lose information) and
instead accepts jaggy output.  OK.
