Will that work for non-ASCII encodings?
For ISO-8859-x we can say strlen() == strwidth(),
but for other encodings using multibytes that doesn't work, does it?

BTW if you are interested in supporting non-utf8 output, you may want
to look at 1452bd6 (branch -v: align even when branch names are in
UTF-8 - 2012-08-26), which assumes branches are in utf-8. So you have
to convert them to output charset before printing.

Thanks,
I try to re-phrase my question:

Do installations still exist which use e.g. BIG5 or any other
multi byte encoding which is not UTF-8?

Do we want to support other encodings than ASCII or UTF-8?
(Because then the screen width needs to be calculate different, I think)
