/// If not enough multibyte string support is available in the C library,
/// these functions keep working with the assumption that all strings
/// are in a single-byte character set without combining characters, e.g.
/// US-ASCII or ISO-8859-*.

/// Printing simple tables to a terminal can be done using the field field

///             used as the field width, e.g. printf("%*s", fw, str).
