Oh, I didn't mean to use that variable.  I was just explaining that Alex
request to "grow-only" seems to work fairly well to provide "mostly
constant width" without having to scan the whole buffer upfront.
How to provide "grow-only" (i.e. where to store the previous-width info)
is not something I've thought about, but maybe it can be kept as
a window-local information, reset whenever we set-window-buffer.
