That's the 'natural width'. In some cases (like ERT inset) we display less
than that, and we should do that in case of insetbibitem as well, as having
Labels_that_give_the_name_of_the_author_and_the_title_of_the_paper
are not too uncommon when using BiBTeX (of course, nobody would type them
manually more than once...)

It's already partially there, i.e. that's exactly the intended use of
/// if this is set...
bool restrictwidth;
/// ... this is valid
int textwidth;
in MetricsBase.
But you are right, the same mechanism could be used for the button width,
and for the ERT insets and for the minipages and for the tables and..
