Anything done on this? I'd like to request a pull to work on this.
I am referring to @matthijsmvs feature request:

I forgot about that. The Windows

mode

command will return the words such as "Columns" per the locale of Windows. So looking for literally "Columns" will only work for the English Windows locales.

"I see" said the blind man as he tripped over his code.

+1 vote from me to comment the use of regular expressions (how can anything that looks like this "'/CON.*:(\n[^|]+?){3}(?<cols>\d+)/" be called regular?)

Here is the code snippet for Unix/Linux:

In the code the unix Command tput cols is used. All this really does is look at the $TERM environment variable and infers the column count from that. On my Mint 17.2 this is 'xterm' and the tput cols command always returns 80 (which is the default column width for xterm).

Thanks for the response. I have similar concerns about security and using Composer in my own personal projects.
Perhaps similar logic to bower could be leveraged (which I think is more security conscious).
I'd hate to have to reinvent the wheel for library dependencies.

Forgive my ignorance, but isn't this what Composer does?
