This should have been done at the time that function was installed.  If
you do it now, you may break valid code like

(let (max-chars)
  (setq right-fringe-width 0)
  (setq max-chars (window-max-chars-per-line))
  (set-window-buffer nil (window-buffer))
  max-chars)

which currently yields 79 and would yield 80 with your proposal.
