Description

Calculate will simulate the Expand method, calculating the ending column only.
Multi-line strings, ie. strings containing one or more newline sequences (eg. CrLf, but also single Cr of Lf characters are treated as newlines), are handled properly, with all but the first line starting at column 0 (zero-based set to True) or 1 (zero-based set to False).

Notes

This method is nil-safe; when invoked on a nil-reference, this method will assume a tab width of two on a zero-based tab set.
