-Based on the answer from @zeertzjq in neovim/neovim#35964.
+Resolves a window's text-area metrics once, so callers can hoist this out of
+per-row loops. Returns the usable text `width` (window width minus the columns
+reserved by the sign, number and fold columns).
+
+Must be called inside `win` (e.g. via `nvim_win_call`) because the underlying
+functions are window-dependent.
