I guess you will have to write code that stores the last value
computed during redisplay in the window object.

Not that I think this is a good idea, because the display engine has
its own rules for which parts of the window it redraws, so you might
bump into situations where the value is not accurate.  Nor do I
understand why you don't like what line_number_display_width does,
because that's the right solution for this kind of problems.
