Why did you choose the name line-number-display-width over, e.g.,
display-line-number-width? It seems every other related variable has a
prefix of display-. I can see the name being confused with
line-number-display-limit-width and line-number-display-limit.

P.S. I was thinking about how a minor mode for this should be
implemented. I attached a proof of concept, which includes a couple
extra variables to achieve line number width behaviour similar to
linum/nlinum. What do you think?
