      This function is not a good proxy for display width, as some scalar values have
      display widths > 1. Many native applications such as terminal emulators use
      [wcwidth] (see [man 3 wcwidth]) to compute the display width of a scalar value. See
      the uucp library's [Uucp.Break.tty_width_hint] for an implementation of [wcwidth]'s
      logic. However, this is merely best-effort, as display widths will vary based on the
      font and underlying text shaping engine (see docs on [tty_width_hint] for details).

      For applications that support Grapheme clusters (many terminal emulators do not),
      [t] should first be split into Grapheme clusters and then the display width of each
      of those Grapheme clusters needs to be computed (which is the max display width of
      the scalars that are in the cluster).
