Right.  If w < 0, bad things happen in the code just following.  If
w can indeed be negative there, maybe that code block should be simply
skipped.

wcwidth() should be negative only if wide_char is non-printable.
The code checks if iswcntrl() or iswspace(), and if so, skips the
assert and output.  If it is a wide control character, then it's not
printable, right?
