Shouldn't that be 'the number of _contiguous_ characters'
(at the beginning of the get area of the output buffer)?

Imho, that is always egptr() - gptr(),?possibly after
first adjusting the get area pointers.  The word 'contiguous'
implies refering to a buffer, therefore I thought it might
be relevant.
