screenw

A command to print out a list of characters showing you how wide your terminal is.

Example for a 36 chars wide terminal:

$ screenw
                                 =36
         1         2         3
123456789012345678901234567890123456

... or an 80x terminal:

$ screenw
                                                                             =80
         1         2         3         4         5         6         7         8

... or a ginormous 130x terminal:

$ screenw
                                                                                                   1                          =130
         1         2         3         4         5         6         7         8         9         0         1         2         3

I've had a similar command in my local bins for a while, "but" it was Perl-based, and I was looking for something a little bit more portable - hence this.
