In these days, CPUs are way to fast for text terminal GUIs anyway. Show
me *any* sort of realistic application, where profiling indicates for
any 100 ms window that the CPU spent more than 0.1% of its clock cycles
inside wcwidth(), and I'll reconsider the size/speed tradeoff that I
made in my wcwidth implementation.
