https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/779423 mentions a bash documentation
omission:

"Bash retrieves the window size from the terminal associated with its standard
error, if any. Redirecting standard error means it can’t do this, so COLUMNS
remains unchanged even if checkwinsize is enabled. I don’t think this is
documented."
