The metric is indeed easily available: that's what window-body-width
returns.  But how can it know what will you do with the metric?  The
fact that you want to account for one or two fringes etc. is something
specific to the application, no?

Is it wrong, or are you counting pixels as in 0, 1, ... N, assuming
that the Nth pixel is still in the window?
