Does fish behave better when the width is less than 20 to pretend that
the width is 80?  What about all the programs that depend on $COLUMNS or
`tput cols` etc.?  My question is: what is the reason to *mis-represent*
the width when it's less than 20.

I understand that this can be a problem, but I don't see the relevance,
i.e. it seems like a different issue.  Checking for zero is different
than checking for less than 20.  Certainly fish can be programmed to
fallback to 80x24 if either dimension is reported to be zero.
