:-)  I don't care what it's called, I'll leave that up to
you and Ken.

    $ fmttest -outsize 2 -raw -format '%{text}' 'Ｆo'

produces no output but

    $ fmttest -outsize 3 -raw -format '%{text}' 'Ｆo  | od -x
0000000 bcef 0aa6

does.  Assuming the newline takes up one space, that is
what we want, right?  Contrast with:

    $ fmttest -width 2 -raw -format '%{text}' 'Ｆ'

which produces the same output as in the second (-outsize 3) case,

Currently, it looks like -outsize counts the newline as one,
like -width.  If we don't want to change that, then we should
call it something else.
