OK.  Hopefully no systems defien NAME_MAX shorter than 20 bytes ;-).

We may suffix "-%d" to make it unique after this truncation, so
there definitely is a need for some slop, and 16-bytes should
sufficiently be long.

Utf8_width() does let you advance one unicode character at a time as
its side effect, but it may be a bit overkill, as its primary
function is to compute the display width of that character.

We could take advantage of the fact that the first byte of a UTF-8
character has two high-bits set (i.e. 11xxxxxx) while the second and
subsequent bytes have only the top-bit set and the second highest
bit clear (i.e. 10xxxxxx) to simplify/optimize it.  If this were in
a performance sensitive codepath, that is.

I'll queue it as-is for now, as we are in "regression fix only"
phase of the cycle, and have enough time to polish it.

Thanks.
