When autocompleting a filename with å in it, bpython-curtsies incorrectly calculates the width of the current line, placing the cursor one character too far to the right.

In Curtsies 0.2.0 FmtStrs have a width property which is the terminal display width (via a patched pure-Python wcswidth call) of the string (see http://curtsies.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html#len-vs-width) I need to add this to FSArrays in Curtsies still, but after that the work will be checking the width of strings for display and cursor position a lot.

I'd like to table this for now, it's rather complicated and doesn't fix issues I've heard anybody complain about.
