that's ... ugh ... not so prety, I think

In my current version I track the desired width, if there is w
specifier, and then do the adjustments after the loop. That takes
indeed care of undefined character sequences.

I find that much better readable, and also easier to extend (later
there comes the `wf` case and the `128`, and perhaps some day `256`)
