What is the output of:
echo -e '日本語\b\bhello'


Wait. Quick question: how much should '\b' backstep when wide characters are
encountered?

- a whole wide character?
- a single byte?
- a half of wide character?

Which is considered 'correct'?

It should be: "日本hello" and not "日hello". I'm not sure which it
does. Also try with explicit cursor positioning escapes.

(I'd appreciate it if you could try and report since I no longer have
them installed and forgot to check this while I did.)
