+ * This is an implementation of wcwidth() and wcswidth() (defined in
+ * IEEE Std 1002.1-2001) for Unicode.
+ *
+ * http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/functions/wcwidth.html
+ * http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/functions/wcswidth.html
+ *
+ * In fixed-width output devices, Latin characters all occupy a single
+ * "cell" position of equal width, whereas ideographic CJK characters
+ * occupy two such cells. Interoperability between terminal-line
+ * applications and (teletype-style) character terminals using the
+ * UTF-8 encoding requires agreement on which character should advance
+ * the cursor by how many cell positions. No established formal
+ * standards exist at present on which Unicode character shall occupy
+ * how many cell positions on character terminals. These routines are
+ * a first attempt of defining such behavior based on simple rules
+ * applied to data provided by the Unicode Consortium.
+ *
+ * For some graphical characters, the Unicode standard explicitly
+ * defines a character-cell width via the definition of the East Asian
+ * FullWidth (F), Wide (W), Half-width (H), and Narrow (Na) classes.
+ * In all these cases, there is no ambiguity about which width a
+ * terminal shall use. For characters in the East Asian Ambiguous (A)
+ * class, the width choice depends purely on a preference of backward
+ * compatibility with either historic CJK or Western practice.
+ * Choosing single-width for these characters is easy to justify as
+ * the appropriate long-term solution, as the CJK practice of
+ * displaying these characters as double-width comes from historic
+ * implementation simplicity (8-bit encoded characters were displayed
+ * single-width and 16-bit ones double-width, even for Greek,
+ * Cyrillic, etc.) and not any typographic considerations.
+ *
+ * Much less clear is the choice of width for the Not East Asian
+ * (Neutral) class. Existing practice does not dictate a width for any
+ * of these characters. It would nevertheless make sense
+ * typographically to allocate two character cells to characters such
+ * as for instance EM SPACE or VOLUME INTEGRAL, which cannot be
+ * represented adequately with a single-width glyph. The following
+ * routines at present merely assign a single-cell width to all
+ * neutral characters, in the interest of simplicity. This is not
+ * entirely satisfactory and should be reconsidered before
+ * establishing a formal standard in this area. At the moment, the
+ * decision which Not East Asian (Neutral) characters should be
+ * represented by double-width glyphs cannot yet be answered by
+ * applying a simple rule from the Unicode database content. Setting
+ * up a proper standard for the behavior of UTF-8 character terminals
+ * will require a careful analysis not only of each Unicode character,
+ * but also of each presentation form, something the author of these
+ * routines has avoided to do so far.
