The purpose is to know two things: 1. How far we are from the limit column. 2. If the limit was surpassed. For 2 there are some handy packages (column-overflow-mode, for instance) that should work for non-monospaced fonts. For 1 the system has no way of knowing where to put the line, because it depends on the text that we are going to write. What I'm missing?
