Oh, this Unicode width calculation sounds great! This was the only
reason I needed readline and stay away from haskline. If this works
properly, I no more nead to depend on readline for line input. I think
this is a very good news for any mutibyte charset users. I'll try to
replace readline in my memscript utility to haskline and come back to
report the results. Thanks for your work on this!
