Without using a custom width table, users of Vty-based applications
are likely to eventually experience rendering problems with with wide
characters. We recommend that developers of Vty-based applications either:
* Provide the `vty-build-width-table` tool and documentation for running
it and updating the Vty configuration, or
* Have the application invoke the Vty library's table-building
functionality and load the table at startup without using the Vty
configuration.
The best option will depend on a number of factors: the user audience,
the amount of risk posed by wide character rendering, the terminal
emulators in use, etc.
