Hi,
You always make light of compatibility to non-European-language
environments. Even if it were not an "adequate choice", standards
need to keep compatibility to popular past environments.
Kernel will have to handle wcwidth() anyway
- to display doublewidth characters on the console
- to calculate the cursor position on the console after processing
a 0x08 (in your case; if a 0x08 moves one *cell* in any case, the
calculation does not need wcwidth())
