It would be a fun optimization problem to solve, but I doubt it would be
much useful (e.g., pathological cases getting in the way...).

For the sake of simplicity, I opted for two states cycling in the latest
proof of concept. It means that columns with a width cookie cannot be
narrowed to 1 character, but I assume it is an acceptable restriction
since the width cookie is probably there for a reason.
