So, if I understand the above correctly, the purpose is simply to not
allow Emacs showing half of a line or half of a column. Well. I admit I
don't really understand why would someone want to waste space showing
nothing (since showing half of a line is more useful than showing
nothing), but if you are sure that there are users who want this… Oh,
well.
