#' Calculate display width
#'
#' `get_extent()` calculates the display width for each string in a character
#' vector.
#'
#' @param x A character vector.
#' @export
#' @importFrom fansi strip_sgr
#' @importFrom utf8 utf8_width
#' @examples
#' get_extent(c("abc", "de"))
#' get_extent("\u904b\u6c23")

#' @description
#' `get_max_extent()` calculates the maximum display width of all strings in a
#' character vector, zero for empty vectors.
#' @export
#' @rdname get_extent
#' @examples
#' get_max_extent(c("abc", "de"))

#' Alignment helper
#'
#' Facilitates easy alignment of strings within a character vector. Designed to
#' help implementers of formatters for custom data types.
#'
#' @param x A character vector
#' @param width The width that each string is padded to. If `NULL`, the maximum
#'   display width of the character vector is used (see [get_max_extent()]).
#' @param align How should strings be aligned? If `align = left` then padding
#'   appears on the `right`, and vice versa.
#' @param space What character should be used for the padding?
#' @export
#' @examples
#' align(c("abc", "de"), align = "left")
#' align(c("abc", "de"), align = "right")
