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())
