To be clearer about what I mean here:

If you're using atblanks softwrap mode, and you type a long enough line
without any blanks that it eventually softwraps at the edge of the
screen regardless, currently the last column is left empty, despite not
actually containing a blank.  This also wastes space, as you pointed
out.  (Open nano in an 80x24 terminal with softwrap and atblanks set,
and then hold down "x" until you get more than 80 x's and go over one
row: the last column will not have an "x".)

However, with this patch applied, the last column of the screen will
properly hold one more character of text from the line instead of being
left empty, so there is no longer wasted space.  (Open nano in an 80x24
terminal with softwrap and atblanks set, and then hold down "x" until
you get more than 80 x's and go over one row: now, the last column
*will* have an "x".)
