Resolves #2992.

Works for tabs, as well as other wide graphemes such as Ideographic Space " "

Dealing with truncating is a mess, especially when it comes to wide
unicode graphemes. This way it should work no matter what.

Testing this out with something non-whitespace-like but multi-width like "😀", we render an empty space instead of any character (because of the rect here). I think that's a good choice but I wonder if there's anything better to signal that a multi-width character is getting chopped off here?

I would say but then we're rendering something completely different than the actual source. Maybe the plain rect is the best choice? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I considered rendering a character to indicate that a wide grapheme has been cut off, but I think keeping it simple and showing nothing is the right approach.
If we were to render a character it should probably be configurable which char to use, (like how it is with whitespace) but I think that's overkill.

* Make it style based, and not truncation based
