you and Ken.
The functionality sounds OK, though it needs to know `Foo' is 2+1+1;
there's no mention of wider-than-one runes above AFAICS.
$ fmttest -outsize 2 -raw -format '%{text}' 'Fo'
produces no output but
$ fmttest -outsize 3 -raw -format '%{text}' 'Fo | od -x
0000000 bcef 0aa6
does. Assuming the newline takes up one space, that is
what we want, right? Contrast with:
$ fmttest -width 2 -raw -format '%{text}' 'F'
which produces the same output as in the second (-outsize 3) case,
Also, is `width' the value of `tput cols' this time, or one less
again?
Currently, it looks like -outsize counts the newline as one,
like -width. If we don't want to change that, then we should
call it something else.
