Alas, we don't have a mechanism for adapting the geometry of screen
lines dynamically. It is calculated when the display of a window
begins, and then used all the way until redisplay of that window is
completed.
If people are annoyed by this "payment", we could perhaps have a
defcustom that would disable the usurpation of that column, but then
people shouldn't complain if/when they see strange effects in R2L
lines (which can happen even if you don't expect them).
