But what is wrong about that?
If you are making the termio related code reusable and sharable by turning
the static "term_columns()" in help.o into an external symbol, there is no
reason that termio related function, which is now useful outside the
context of giving help, must stay in help.c where its life happened to
have started. In fact, "tell me how wide the terminal is" does not belong
to something called "help subsystem", no?
Wouldn't a new file, term.c or something, be a lot more suitable home for
the function you will be reusing from diff and other parts of the system?
