That would probably do it for me, yes.

I hadn't considered anything but fixed width fonts with uniform size --
but, for instance, the width could be reported in em-length units.
If people switch fonts mid-line, that's clearly a pain - but "ems" could
be defined relative to point-size-at-point, and would accordingly return
an accurate *length*. In the general not the same as the "actual number
of columns" - but possibly still of use.
