Summary:                    fold does not respect character width or multibyte
characters
Description: 
assumes one byte = 1 character cell. thus fold fails in the situations
where it has the most practical use.

Well, we MAYBE someday will start supporting UTF-8. I think the world is
moving in that direction. No need to support gazillion of legacy
encodings.
