I have no idea about the acceptance of the whole concept, especially 
(as I had warned) about changing the width of the CJK locales 
WITHOUT modifier as IWAMURO Motonori insisted.
But I guess a general solution of the width issue will be more 
appreciated than one that handles only the CJK locales.
