So either you have to throw out all pretenses of Unicode-correctness and
just stick with ASCII-style per-character line-wrapping, or you have to
live with byGrapheme with all the complexity that it entails. The former
is quite easy to write -- I could throw it together in a couple o' hours
max, but the latter is a pretty big project (cf. Unicode line-breaking
algorithm, which is one of the TR's).
It'd be good enough to duplicate the existing behavior, which is to treat
decoded unicode characters as one column.
Code points aren't equivalent to characters. They're not the same thing in most
European languages,
I know a bit of German, for what characters is that not true?
Umlauts, if combined characters are used. Also words that still have their
accents left after import from foreign languages. E.g. Café
That doesn't make sense to me, because the umlauts and the accented e all have
Unicode code point assignments.
