The change I request is that this be closed because it is conceptually wrong. Textwrap works in terms of abstract 'characters' (codepoint), not physical units. I will explain this on the issue.

Aside from that, 2 is the wrong number to add, as 'double-width' characters are not actually twice as wide as fixed-pitch Ascii chars of the same height. See the issue for this as well.
